Paper collection

A class with m pupils agreed that each pupil would collect k kilograms of paper. Before the collection began, one pupil moved away and did not hand over any paper.
o In dependence on the quantities k, m express:
a) how many kilograms of paper each pupil had to hand over so that the class handed over the originally agreed amount of paper.
b) by how many more kilograms of paper each pupil had to hand over compared to the originally agreed amount.

Final Answer:

a = kg m*k/(m-1)
b = kg m*k/(m-1)-k

Step-by-step explanation:

a=m k/(m1)
b = a  k  b=m k/(m1)k
