18

Assume that initial there were 3*X bullets.

So they got X bullets each after division.

All of them shot 4 bullets. So now they have (X - 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. X

Therefore, the equation is

3 * (X - 4) = X

3 * X - 12 = X

2 * X = 12

X = 6

Therefore the total bullets before division is = 3 * X = 18

Answer / cincy

I'm confused by this part of the above equation:
3 * X - 12 = X

2 * X = 12

How does the three magically become a two?

x - 3(4) = x/3
3x-36=x
2x=36
x=18.
