Given the stream of consciousness rationale, provide a reasonable question and answer. Rationale: If the 12 students had shared the 108 oranges, each student would have gotten 108 / 12 = 9 oranges. But 36 were removed so there are 108 - 36 = 72 oranges left. So 12 shared 72 for each to get 72 / 12 = 6 oranges. This is 9 - 6 = 3 less than they would each get if they did not have to throw any orange away.
The question and answer:
A class of 12 students was about to share 108 oranges equally among themselves when it was discovered that 36 of the oranges were bad and had to be thrown away. How many oranges less will each student get now than if no orange had to be thrown away?
The answer is 3
