Alicia has 32 stickers. This is 4 times as many stickers as Benita has. How many stickers does Benita have?

strojnjashka [21]

Let's name the number of stickers Alicia has "a" and Benita as "b".

Then: a=32

a=4*b

We know this from the information above. Now we put it together:

32=4*b

we divide both sides by 4:

8=b

Benita has 8 stickers.
