Three friends divided some bullets equally. After all of them shot 4 bullets the total number of bullets remaining is equal to the bullets each had after division. Find the original number divided.
.......TO GET ANSWER SCROLL DOWN.....BE SURE TO COMMENT THE ANSWER BEFORE U CHECK IT...............................................Assume that initial there were 3*X bullets.So they got X bullets each after division.All of them shot 4 bullets. So now they have (X - 4) bullets each.But it is given that,after they shot 4 bullets each, total number of bullets remaining is equal to the bullets each had after division i.e. XTherefore, the equation is3 * (X - 4) = X3 * X - 12 = X2 * X = 12X = 6Therefore the total bullets before division is = 3 * X = 18 Answer 18

Assume that initial there were 3*X bullets.
So they got X bullets each after division.
All of them shot 4 bullets. So now they have (X - 4) bullets each.
But it is given that,after they shot 4 bullets each, total number of bullets remaining is equal to the bullets each had after division i.e. X
Therefore, the equation is
3 * (X - 4) = X
3 * X - 12 = X
2 * X = 12
X = 6
Therefore the total bullets before division is = 3 * X = 18
