Seth had 204 stamps less than Min. Given that they have a total of 660 stamps,
- How many stamps did Min have?
- How many stamps did Seth have?
(a)
Number of stamps that Min had = 1 u
Number of stamps that Seth had = 1 u - 204
Total number of stamps
= 1 u + 1 u - 204
= 2 u - 204
2 u - 204 = 660
2 u = 660 + 204
2 u = 864
1 u = 864 ÷ 2 = 432
Number of stamps that Min had
= 1 u
= 432
(b)
Number of stamps that Seth had
= 1 u - 204
= 432 - 204
= 228
Answer(s): (a) 432; (b) 228
