Question

Ling Ling collected(587) stickers and Jia Jia collected 245 stickers. After giving 40 stickers to their cousin, they put the remainder equally into(36 boxes. How many stickers were there in each box?​

Answer 1

22 stickers in each box

Explanation:

Ling Ling = 587 stickers

Jia = 245 stickers

Therefore, total number of stickers = 587 + 245 = 832

if they gave 40 stickers to their cousin, then

remaining stickers = 832 - 40 = 792

If they put the remaining 792 stickers equally into 36 boxes, then

number of stickers in each box = 792 ÷ 36 = 22
