Answer:

  • 7 : 1

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Total money = $96
  • Contribution ratio = 3 : 5 : 8

<u>Contribution by each:</u>

  • 3x + 5x + 8x = 96
  • 16x = 96
  • x = 6
  • 3x → $18, 5x → $30, 8x → $48

<u>Equal contribution is:</u>

  • $96/3= $32

<u>Returned by first and second person:</u>

  • $32 - $18 = $14
  • $32 - $30 = $2

<u>Ratio of returned amount:</u>

  • 14 : 2 = 7 : 1

Pippa had 35 stickers.
Ivan

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.

  • 32 / 8 = 4 stickers

Also, this means Pippa would keep <u>3 stickers</u> for herself.

  • 35 - 32 = 3 stickers

Hope this helps!! :)
