Question

Mr. Monrean had three sheets of stickers. He gave 20 stickers from each sheet to his students and has 12 total stickers left. Write and solve an equation to find the total number of stickers s there were originally on each sheet.

Answer 1

the total number of stickers is 24

Explanation:

The computation of the total number of stickers is shown below

Let us assume the total no of stickers be x

Now as per the question, the equation is

3(x - 20) = 12

3x - 60 = 12

3x = 12 + 60

3x = 72

x = 24

Hence, the total number of stickers is 24
