(a)
Before
Number of stamps that Warren had = 1 u + 314
Number of stamps that Neave had = 1 u
After
Number of stamps that Warren had = 1 u + 314 + 54 = 5 u
Number of stamps that Neave had = 1 u
1 u + 314 + 54 = 5u
1 u + 368 = 5 u
5 u - 1 u = 368
4 u = 368
1 u = 368 ÷ 4 = 92
(a)
Number of stamps that Neave had
= 1 u
= 92
(b)
Number of stamps that Warren and Neave had in the end
= 5 u + 1 u
= 6 u
= 6 x 92
= 552
Answer(s): (a) 92; (b) 552
