Adam has 170 stickers.
Bryan has 50 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
= 170 + 50
= 220
(b)
Number of stickers that Adam has more than Bryan
= 170 - 50
= 120
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
= 120 ÷ 2
= 60
(c)
Number of stickers that Bryan must get from Adam
= Number of stickers that Adam must give to Bryan
= 60
Answer(s): (a) 220; (b) 60; (c) 60
