Cody had 282 stickers less than Emily. Given that they have a total of 620 stickers,
- How many stickers did Emily have?
- How many stickers did Cody have?
(a)
Number of stickers that Emily had = 1 u
Number of stickers that Cody had = 1 u - 282
Total number of stickers
= 1 u + 1 u - 282
= 2 u - 282
2 u - 282 = 620
2 u = 620 + 282
2 u = 902
1 u = 902 ÷ 2 = 451
Number of stickers that Emily had
= 1 u
= 451
(b)
Number of stickers that Cody had
= 1 u - 282
= 451 - 282
= 169
Answer(s): (a) 451; (b) 169
