There are three guys who have equal number of bullets. All of them shoot 4 bullets. The remaining bullets are equal to the total number of bullets remaining is equal to the bullets each had after division. What was the original number of bullets each one had?

• let initially each was having x bullets
  they shot 4 bullets
  so 3x-12=x
  x=6
  so each was having 6 bullets.
  total was 18.

• 18
  
  Let they have intially 3X bullets and get X bullets each
  All they shot 4 bullets
  so 3*(x-4)=x
  solving this we get x=6
  initially they have 3*6=18 bullets
