Adam has 30 stickers.
Bryan has 20 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
= 30 + 20
= 50
(b)
Number of stickers that Adam has more than Bryan
= 30 - 20
= 10
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
= 10 ÷ 2
= 5
(c)
Number of stickers that Bryan must get from Adam
= Number of stickers that Adam must give to Bryan
= 5
Answer(s): (a) 50; (b) 5; (c) 5
