(a)
The number of stickers Bryan has at first and in the end remains unchanged.
Make the number of stickers Bryan has the same using LCM of 1 and 1.
LCM of 1 and 1 = 1
1 u + 90 - 70 = 5 u
1 u + 20 = 5 u
5 u - 1 u = 20
4 u = 20
1 u = 20 ÷ 4 = 5
Number of stickers that Bryan has
= 1 u
= 5
(b)
Number of stickers that Adam has at first
= 1 u + 90
= 5 + 90
= 95
(c)
Number of stickers that they have altogether at first
= 1 u + 1 u + 90
= 4 u + 90
= 4 x 5 + 90
= 20 + 90
= 110
(d)
Number of stickers that they have altogether in the end
= 5 u + 1 u
= 6 u
= 6 x 5
= 30
Answer(s): (a) 5; (b) 95; (c) 110; (d) 30
