Bryan has 170 stickers.
Adam has 90 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
= 170 + 90
= 260
(b)
Number of stickers that Bryan has more than Adam
= 170 - 90
= 80
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
= 80 ÷ 2
= 40
(c)
Number of stickers that Adam must get from Bryan
= Number of stickers that Bryan must give to Adam
= 40
Answer(s): (a) 260; (b) 40; (c) 40
