Question

Finn bought 2 pack of sticker.Each pack had the same number of stickers. A friend gave him 4 more stickers. Now he has 24 stickers in all. How many stickers were in each pack? Explain how you solved the problem.

Answer 1

ten stickers because 24 minus the 4 your friend gave you equals 20. divide that by the number of packs he bought and you get ten stickers per pack.
(10+10+4=20)

Answer 2

10 stickers.

Explanation:

Let x represent number of stickers in each pack.

We have been given that Finn bought 2 pack of sticker.Each pack had the same number of stickers. So number of stickers in 2 packets would be
`2x`.

We are also told that a friend gave him 4 more stickers. Now he has 24 stickers in all. We can represent this information in an equation as:

`2x+4=24`

`2x+4-4=24-4`

`2x=20`

`(2x)/(2)=(20)/(2)`

`x=10`

Therefore, each pack has 10 stickers.
