Glen had 247 stickers more than Jane. Given that they have a total of 525 stickers,
- how many stickers did Jane have?
- how many stickers did Glen have?
(a)
Number of stickers that Glen that = 1 u + 247
Number of stickers that Jane had = 1 u
Total number of stickers
= 1 u + 247 + 1 u
= 2 u + 247
2 u + 247 = 525
2 u = 525 - 247
2 u = 278
1 u = 278 ÷ 2 = 139
Number of stickers that Jane had
= 1 u
= 139
(b)
Number of stickers that Glen had
= 1 u + 247
= 139 + 247
= 386
Answer(s): (a) 139; (b) 386
