Andy had 218 stickers more than Nicole. Given that they have a total of 466 stickers,
- how many stickers did Nicole have?
- how many stickers did Andy have?
(a)
Number of stickers that Andy that = 1 u + 218
Number of stickers that Nicole had = 1 u
Total number of stickers
= 1 u + 218 + 1 u
= 2 u + 218
2 u + 218 = 466
2 u = 466 - 218
2 u = 248
1 u = 248 ÷ 2 = 124
Number of stickers that Nicole had
= 1 u
= 124
(b)
Number of stickers that Andy had
= 1 u + 218
= 124 + 218
= 342
Answer(s): (a) 124; (b) 342
