Winnie |
Cathy |
| Before |
1 u |
1 u + 26 |
| Change |
- 8 |
+ 8 |
| After |
1 u - 8 |
1 u + 34 |
Before
Number of bracelets that Winnie has at first = 1 u
Number of bracelets that Cathy has at first = 1 u + 26
After
Number of bracelets that Winnie will have in the end = 1 u - 8
Number of bracelets that Cathy will have in the end = 1 u + 26 + 8 = 1 u + 34
Number of bracelets that Winnie will have less than Cathy
= 34 + 8
= 42
Answer(s): 42
