X-4+X-4+X-4=X;
2X=12;
X=6;
so the initial number of bullets is 18

each having x bullets
each of them shoot 4 times
total number of bullets remaining is x
so (3*4)+x=3*x

12=2x
x=12/2
x=6
Answer:

Total no of bullets is 18.

Answer / keyur
Suppose there are 3X bullets. Each one gets X bullets..
After shot of 4 bullets. remaining bullets X - 4
(X-4)+(X-4)+(X-4)=X
so 3X-12=X
so X=6
So original bullets are 18 bullets...(3*6=18)

Answer / ashutosh
Suppose intially they had -> B bullets
After division
each had = B/3 bullets
After firing 4 bullets
each left with = (B/3 - 4)bullets
Total=3(B/3 - 4)bullets
3(B/3 - 4)= B/3 bullets
Therefore
Total Bullets =18.
