Buffalo Shuffle-o is a card game in which all the cards are distributed evenly among all players at the start of the game. When Annika and $3$ of her friends play Buffalo Shuffle-o, each player is dealt $15$ cards. Suppose $2$ more friends join the next game. How many cards will be dealt to each player?


Solution 1

In the beginning, there are $4$ players playing the game, meaning that each player gets $4 \cdot 15 = 60$ cards. When $2$ more players join, there are now $6$ players playing, and since the cards need to be split evenly, this means that each player gets $\frac{60}{6}=\boxed{\text{(C)\ 10}}$ cards
