Sekolo se segolwane sa Brook Hills se na le baithuti ba le 3000.  Bofelong ba baithuti bano ba feta dingwaga tse 16, mme kwatara ya baithuti ba ba fetang dingwaga tse 16 ke ba ba botona.  Bofelong bo bong ba baithuti ba na le dingwaga tse kwa tlase ga 16, mme halofo ya baithuti ba ba kwa tlase ga dingwaga tse 16 ke ba ba botona.  Go akaretsa, go na le baithuti ba basadi ba le kae ba ba kwadisitsweng mo sekolong seno?

Two friends are playing pick-up sticks. While playing, they noticed that there are 9 red sticks, and 5 more blue sticks than red. Also, the number of yellow sticks is 3 less than the blue sticks. How many sticks do they have?
3000-1500=<<3000-1500=1500>>1500 baithuti ba feta dingwaga tse 16.
1500*0.25=<<1500*0.25=375>>375 baithuti ba dingwaga tseno ke ba ba botona.
1500/2=<<1500/2=750>>750 baithuti ba ba kwa tlase ga dingwaga tse 16 ke ba ba botona.
Go akaretsa go na le 750+375=<<750+375=1125>>1125 baithuti ba ba botona ba ba kwadisitsweng.
Ka jalo, go na le 3000-1125=<<3000-1125=1875>>1875 baithuti ba ba basadi ba ba kwadisitsweng.
#### 1,875

There are 9 + 5 = <<9+5=14>>14 blue sticks.
There are 14 - 3 = <<14-3=11>>11 yellow sticks.
There are a total of 9 + 14 + 11 = <<9+14+11=34>>34 sticks.
