Seth |
Will |
Total |
Before |
1 u - 27 |
1 u + 13 |
214 |
Change |
+ 27 |
- 13 |
|
After |
1 u |
1 u |
228 |
Total number of stickers in the end
= 214 + 27 - 13
= 228
2 u = 228
1 u = 228 ÷ 2 = 114
Number of stickers that Seth had in the end
= 1 u
= 114
Number of stickers that Seth had at first
= 114 - 27
= 87
Answer(s): 87
