You can put this solution on YOUR website! Its a very interesting question
Number of boys= 6 and number of girls=10
Total number of stickers to be shared among them= 82
Let the number of stickers a girl will get= x
Number of sticker 10 girls will get= 10*x
It is given that a boy will get number of stickers = x+3
Number of stickers 6 boys will get = 6*(x+3)
82 stickers are among the boys and girls, so we get
10*x + 6*(x+3)= 82
10x + 6x+ 18= 82
16x =82-18 ( to find the value of x, we have to separate it from the number)
16x= 64
x=64/16
x=4
Each girl get 4 stickers and each boy gets (4+3)=7 stickers
