Pierre had 208 stickers more than Rachel. Given that they have a total of 544 stickers,
- how many stickers did Rachel have?
- how many stickers did Pierre have?
(a)
Number of stickers that Pierre that = 1 u + 208
Number of stickers that Rachel had = 1 u
Total number of stickers
= 1 u + 208 + 1 u
= 2 u + 208
2 u + 208 = 544
2 u = 544 - 208
2 u = 336
1 u = 336 ÷ 2 = 168
Number of stickers that Rachel had
= 1 u
= 168
(b)
Number of stickers that Pierre had
= 1 u + 208
= 168 + 208
= 376
Answer(s): (a) 168; (b) 376
