There are 3 friends who equally distribute some bullets.Four bullets are shot by each one.The remaining bullets are equal to the half of original bullets that the 3 friends distributed.Find out total number of bullets.

• Let x be the no. of bullets equally distributed...
  Then x+x+x = 3x (total)
  x-4+x-4+x-4 = 3x/2
  3x - 12 = 3x/2
  6x - 24 = 3x
  x = 8
  Total is 3*8 = 24
  
  Ans : 24

• let the total no. of bullet=x
  3 friends shot 4 bullet i.e. 4+4+4=12
  according to the question,
  x-12=x/2
  2x-24=x
  i.e. x=24
