Bryan has 140 stickers.
Adam has 30 stickers.
- What is the sum of stickers?
- How many stickers must Bryan give to Adam so both have the same number of stickers?
- How many stickers must Adam get from Bryan so both have the same number of stickers?
(a)
Total sum of stickers
= 140 + 30
= 170
(b)
Number of stickers that Bryan has more than Adam
= 140 - 30
= 110
For both Bryan and Adam to have the same number of stickers, the extra stickers must be shared equally.
Number of stickers that Bryan must give to Adam
= 110 ÷ 2
= 55
(c)
Number of stickers that Adam must get from Bryan
= Number of stickers that Bryan must give to Adam
= 55
Answer(s): (a) 170; (b) 55; (c) 55
