Let’s solve each problem one by one, step by step.
---
Problem 1:
Total students = 150
Boys = 90
Girls = ?
To find the number of girls, subtract the number of boys from the total:
150 - 90 = 60
✔ So, there are
60 girls.

Problem 2:
Tom has 54 toys.
He shares them evenly between himself and his 2 brothers.
That means 3 people total (Tom + 2 brothers).
Divide 54 by 3:
54 ÷ 3 = 18
✔ Each person gets
18 toys.

Problem 3:
Jerry earned:
- Month 1: $1200
- Month 2: $400
- Month 3: $600
Add them all together:
1200 + 400 = 1600
1600 + 600 = 2200
✔ Total earnings over 3 months =
$2200

Problem 4:
Simon wants to bake 24 cupcakes.
He has 3 trays that hold them perfectly — meaning each tray holds the same amount.
Divide 24 by 3:
24 ÷ 3 = 8
✔ Each tray holds
8 cupcakes.

Final Answer:
1. 60
2. 18
3. $2200
4. 8
