Sabrina |
| Before |
1 u |
1 u + 37 |
| Change |
- 5 |
+ 5 |
| After |
1 u - 5 |
1 u + 42 |
Before
Number of bracelets that Irene has at first = 1 u
Number of bracelets that Sabrina has at first = 1 u + 37
After
Number of bracelets that Irene will have in the end = 1 u - 5
Number of bracelets that Sabrina will have in the end = 1 u + 37 + 5 = 1 u + 42
Number of bracelets that Sabrina will have more than Irene
= 42 + 5
= 47
Answer(s): 47
