Question

Adrian has 3752 red stickers and 3136 green stickers. He sold 1800 stickers to Joe and packed the rest equally into into 48 packets. How many in each packet?

Answer 1

First, add the amount of red and green stickers to determine the total amount of stickers:

3752 + 3136 = 6888

Next, subtract the amount he sold to Joe:

6888 - 1800 = 5088

Finally, divide by 48 to determine how many stickers are in each packet:

5088 / 48 = 106

There are 106 stickers in each packet.

Answer 2

The number in each of the equal-size packets is
(3752 +3136 -1800)/48 = 106
