Answer: 3 stickers
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we know that Pippa's 8 friends have an equal amount of stickers, meaning that the number of stickers that Pippa gave out is a multiple of 8.
Also, we are able to know that Pippa gave as much as she can, meaning that she gave out the stickers until the number is the maximum multiple of 8.
First Five Multiple of 8 = 8, 16, 24, 32, 40
As we can see from the list, 8, 16, and 24 are all multiples of 8, but they are not the maximum number that could fit under 35 stickers. Similarly, 40 exceeds the number of stickers Pippa has. Thus, we are left with 32.
This means, Pippa gave out 32 stickers in total, and each friend got 4 stickers.
Also, this means Pippa would keep <u>3 stickers</u> for herself.
Hope this helps!! :)
Please let me know if you have any questions
Imagine, at the first day you have only one penny. Then tomorrow you have 2 pennies, next day you have 4 (2x2), next day you have 8 (4x2), next day you have 16 (8x2).... and so forth.
It looks like geometric sequence isn't it? (the ratio between the number of pennies that you have from the 2nd day and the 1st day is 2)
So, by using geometric sequence theorem we can total those pennies until day-27
S (total pennies at day-27) = (1)(2^27-1) / 2-1 = 2^26 pennies
So, you have 2^26 pennies.. a big number of pennies huh?=))
{The formula is: S = a( r^n-1) / r-1
Where:
a= the number of pennies that you've got at the 1st day
n= number of days you spent to collect those pennies)
r= the ratio of the number of pennies}
multiply 4times4 equals 8
