The total number of lollipops remains unchanged after Henry gives to Fabian.
Total number of lollipops
= 369 + 630
= 999
Total number of lollipops in the end
= 1 u + 1 u + 43
= 2 u + 43
2 u + 43 = 999
2 u = 999 - 43
2 u = 956
1 u = 956 ÷ 2 = 478
Number of lollipops that Henry must give to Fabian
= 630 - 478
= 152
Answer(s): 152
