Question

Gary and Jill both wanted 23 stickers for a class project. There are 3 sheets of 10 stickers and 30 single stickers on the table. How could Gary and Jill each take 23 stickers

Answer 1

Gary can take 1 sheet of stickers and 13 single stickers

Jill can take 1 sheet of stickers and 13 single stickers

Solution:

Given that,

Gary and Jill both wanted 23 stickers for a class project

Which means,

Gary = 23 stickers

Jill = 23 stickers

There are 3 sheets of 10 stickers and 30 single stickers on the table

Therefore,

3 sheets of 10 stickers

Single stickers = 30

Thus we can say,

Gray can take : 1 sheet of sticker (10 stickers ) + 13 single stickers = 23 stickers

Jill can take : 1 sheet of sticker (10 stickers ) + 13 single stickers = 23 stickers
