Finn bought 2 pack of sticker.Each pack had the same number of stickers. A friend gave him 4 more stickers. Now he has 24 stickers in all. How many stickers were in each pack? Explain how you solved the problem.
ten stickers because 24 minus the 4 your friend gave you equals 20. divide that by the number of packs he bought and you get ten stickers per pack.
(10+10+4=20)
Answer:
10 stickers.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent number of stickers in each pack.
We have been given that Finn bought 2 pack of sticker.Each pack had the same number of stickers. So number of stickers in 2 packets would be \(2x\).
We are also told that a friend gave him 4 more stickers. Now he has 24 stickers in all. We can represent this information in an equation as:
\(2x+4=24\)
\(2x+4-4=24-4\)
\(2x=20\)
\(\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{20}{2}\)
\(x=10\)
Therefore, each pack has 10 stickers.
