Wendy |
Xandra |
| Before |
1 u |
1 u + 22 |
| Change |
- 9 |
+ 9 |
| After |
1 u - 9 |
1 u + 31 |
Before
Number of bracelets that Wendy has at first = 1 u
Number of bracelets that Xandra has at first = 1 u + 22
After
Number of bracelets that Wendy will have in the end = 1 u - 9
Number of bracelets that Xandra will have in the end = 1 u + 22 + 9 = 1 u + 31
Number of bracelets that Wendy will have less than Xandra
= 31 + 9
= 40
Answer(s): 40
