I'm on a team of 12 people and we told our teacher that together we could eat 36 Storm cupcakes. So I'd like to buy my fair share of that 36.

To find your fair share of the 36 Storm cupcakes, you need to divide the total number of cupcakes by the number of people on your team. 

The calculation is as follows:

\[
\frac{36 \text{ cupcakes}}{12 \text{ people}} = 3 \text{ cupcakes per person}
\]

So, your fair share is **3 cupcakes**.

1. What if the total number of cupcakes increased to 48? How many would each person get?
2. If only 10 people could attend, how many cupcakes would each person then get?
3. What percentage of the cupcakes are you responsible for eating?
4. If 3 people didn’t want cupcakes, how would you recalculate the share for the remaining 9 people?
5. What if you wanted to buy 5 cupcakes instead—how many more would that be than your fair share?

**Tip**: When dividing something equally, the total is shared by the number of people, so use division to find your portion!
