Luis had 319 stickers less than Jane. Given that they have a total of 645 stickers,
- How many stickers did Jane have?
- How many stickers did Luis have?
(a)
Number of stickers that Jane had = 1 u
Number of stickers that Luis had = 1 u - 319
Total number of stickers
= 1 u + 1 u - 319
= 2 u - 319
2 u - 319 = 645
2 u = 645 + 319
2 u = 964
1 u = 964 ÷ 2 = 482
Number of stickers that Jane had
= 1 u
= 482
(b)
Number of stickers that Luis had
= 1 u - 319
= 482 - 319
= 163
Answer(s): (a) 482; (b) 163
