Assume that initial there were 3*B bullets.
So they got B bullets each .
All of them shot 4 bullets. So now they have (B - 4) bullets each.
But it is given that,after they shot 4 bullets each, total number of bullets remaining is equal to the bullets each had after division i.e. B
Therefore, the equation is
3 * (B - 4) = B
3 * B - 12 = B
2 * B = 12
X = 6
Therefore the total bullets before division is = 3 * B = 18
Hope this is the correct answer :)
