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

Answer (2)

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.

Benita has 8 stickers. This was found by setting up the equation 32 = 4 b and solving for b . By dividing, we discovered that b = 8 .
