Andy had 366 beads less than Raeann. Given that they have a total of 626 beads,
- How many beads did Raeann have?
- How many beads did Andy have?
(a)
Number of beads that Raeann had = 1 u
Number of beads that Andy had = 1 u - 366
Total number of beads
= 1 u + 1 u - 366
= 2 u - 366
2 u - 366 = 626
2 u = 626 + 366
2 u = 992
1 u = 992 ÷ 2 = 496
Number of beads that Raeann had
= 1 u
= 496
(b)
Number of beads that Andy had
= 1 u - 366
= 496 - 366
= 130
Answer(s): (a) 496; (b) 130
