Adam has 200 stickers.
Bryan has 70 stickers.
- What is the sum of stickers?
- How many stickers must Adam give to Bryan so both have the same number of stickers?
- How many stickers must Bryan get from Adam so both have the same number of stickers?
(a)
Total sum of stickers
= 200 + 70
= 270
(b)
Number of stickers that Adam has more than Bryan
= 200 - 70
= 130
For both Adam and Bryan to have the same number of stickers, the extra stickers must be shared equally.
Number of stickers that Adam must give to Bryan
= 130 ÷ 2
= 65
(c)
Number of stickers that Bryan must get from Adam
= Number of stickers that Adam must give to Bryan
= 65
Answer(s): (a) 270; (b) 65; (c) 65
