Given : A travel stickers set has a total of 50 stickers but I lost some of them. my friends requested some of them from me so, I started distributing them, if I distribute them to 4 of us equally, 3 stickers are left. If I distribute to 3 of us equally, 2 are left and if I distribute to 5 of us equally, 2 stickers are left.
To Find : How many stickers did I have for distributing among my friends?
Solution
Stickers = N
N = 4A + 3
N = 3B + 2 => N - 2 = 3B
N = 5C + 2 => N - 2 = 5C
=> N - 2 = 15D
N - 2 = 15D
Hence N can be 17 , 32 , 47 as its less than 50
But
N = 4A + 3
Hence N must be 47
47 = 11 * 4 + 3
47 = 15 * 3 + 2
47 = 9 * 5 + 2
47 Stickers
