Question

Stickers come in packs of 5. Max buys 12 packs. He gave his three friends some stickers. They each receive the same number. He has 27 stickers left. How many stickers did max give each of his friends?

Answer 1

Answer: 11 stickers each

Explanation:

given data:

packs of stickers bought by mark = 12 ( 5 ) = 60 stickers

no of stickers left with mark = 27

= Total no of stickers – stickers remaining with mark

= 60 – 27

= 33 stickers

he gave his 3 friends equal number of stickers.

3x = 33

x = 11

number of stickers received by each friend is 11
