Howard and Jade share some stickers.
23 of Howard's stickers is equal to
25 of Jade's stickers. Given that Howard has 10 stickers less than Jade, how many stickers do they have altogether?
23 of Howard's stickers = 25 of Jade's stickers
Number of Howard's stickers = 3 u
Number of Jade's stickers = 5 u
Number of stickers that Howard has less than Jade
= 5 u - 3 u
= 2 u
2 u = 10
1 u = 10 ÷ 2 = 5
Total number of stickers
= 3 u + 5 u
= 8 u
= 8 x 5
= 40
Answer(s): 40
