Owen had
58 the number of stickers that Nick had at first. After Nick gave Owen 63 of his stickers, Owen had
45 the number of stickers that Nick had. How many stickers did Nick have in the end?

Owen |
Nick |
Total |
Before |
5x9 = 45 u |
8x9 = 72 u |
13x9 = 117 u |
Change |
+ 7 u |
- 7 u |
|
After |
4x13 = 52 u |
5x13 = 65 u |
9x13 = 117 u |
The total number of stickers that Owen and Nick had at first and in the end remains unchanged. Make the total number of stickers the same. LCM of 13 and 9 is 117.
Number of stickers that Nick gave Owen
= 52 u - 45 u
= 7 u
7 u = 63
1 u = 63 ÷ 7 = 9
Number of stickers that Nick had in the end
= 65 u
= 65 x 9
= 585
Answer(s): 585
