The total number of lollipops remains unchanged after Jeremy gives to Fabian.
Total number of lollipops
= 419 + 507
= 926
Total number of lollipops in the end
= 1 u + 1 u + 44
= 2 u + 44
2 u + 44 = 926
2 u = 926 - 44
2 u = 882
1 u = 882 ÷ 2 = 441
Number of lollipops that Jeremy must give to Fabian
= 507 - 441
= 66
Answer(s): 66
