Flynn had 218 stickers more than Elyse. Given that they have a total of 418 stickers,
- how many stickers did Elyse have?
- how many stickers did Flynn have?
(a)
Number of stickers that Flynn that = 1 u + 218
Number of stickers that Elyse had = 1 u
Total number of stickers
= 1 u + 218 + 1 u
= 2 u + 218
2 u + 218 = 418
2 u = 418 - 218
2 u = 200
1 u = 200 ÷ 2 = 100
Number of stickers that Elyse had
= 1 u
= 100
(b)
Number of stickers that Flynn had
= 1 u + 218
= 100 + 218
= 318
Answer(s): (a) 100; (b) 318
