Question

Miss McKee has 1,183 gold stickers. She wants to give the same number of stickers to each of her 30 students. If she gives away as many stickers as she can, how many stickers will be left over?

Answer 1

If she gives away as many stickers as she can, stickers left = 13

Explanation:

Total number of gold stickers = 1183

Total number of students = 30

So, each student will get =
`(1183)/(30)` = 39.433

As the gold stickers cannot be given in integer form

So , each student get 39 stickers.

So, 30 students get = 30×39 = 1170

So Left over stickers = 1183 - 1170 = 13
