Stickers are shared among 8 students.
If 2 of the students give up
45 of their share,
the rest of the students will get 4 more each.
- How many stickers are there altogether?
- How many stickers will each of the rest of the students have in the end?
(a)
Number of students that can get the extra stickers
= 8 - 2
= 6
Number of stickers that 2 students gives up
= 6 x 4
= 24
Number of stickers that each student gives up
= 24 ÷ 2
= 12
Number of stickers that each student has at first
= 12 ÷
45= 12 x
54 = 15
Number of stickers altogether
= 8 x 15
= 120
(b)
Number of stickers that each of the rest of the students will have in the end
= 15 + 4
= 19
Answer(s): (a) 120; (b) 19
