Total |
| Before |
1 u - 26 |
1 u + 14 |
168 |
| Change |
+ 26 |
- 14 |
|
| After |
1 u |
1 u |
180 |
Total number of cards in the end
= 168 + 26 - 14
= 180
2 u = 180
1 u = 180 ÷ 2 = 90
Number of cards that Andy had in the end
= 1 u
= 90
Number of cards that Andy had at first
= 90 - 26
= 64
Answer(s): 64
