Selina had 21 stickers. She gave the same number of stickers to each of her 9 friends and had 3 stickers left over. How many  stickers did Selina give each friend?

To solve the problem, we can use simple division.

Selina had 21 stickers in total. She gave an equal number of stickers to each of her 9 friends and had 3 stickers left over. We need to find out how many stickers she gave to each friend.

1. Subtract the leftover stickers from the total stickers:
   \[
   21 - 3 = 18
   \]

2. Now, divide the remaining stickers by the number of friends:
   \[
   \frac{18}{9} = 2
   \]

So, Selina gave **2 stickers** to each friend.
