Question

Rachel has 42 stickers she wants give to her friends. Rachel put the stickers in 7 equal groups. Then Rachel found more stickers and put 3 more in each pile. If Rachel gives 5 stickers to each of her 12 friends, how many stickers does she have left over?

Answer 1

3 stamps

Step-by-step explanation: 42 stamps in equal groups would be 6 stickers/group.

6+3 = 9 stickers in each pile

there was 7 piles so multiply 7 by the 9 stickers in each pile

7· 9 = 63

5 · 12 = 60, so she gave her friends 60 stickers

63-60 = 3
