(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 + 110 - 80 = 4 u
1 u + 30 = 4 u
4 u - 1 u = 30
3 u = 30
1 u = 30 ÷ 3 = 10
Number of stickers that Bryan has
= 1 u
= 10
(b)
Number of stickers that Adam has at first
= 1 u + 110
= 10 + 110
= 120
(c)
Number of stickers that they have altogether at first
= 1 u + 1 u + 110
= 3 u + 110
= 3 x 10 + 110
= 30 + 110
= 140
(d)
Number of stickers that they have altogether in the end
= 4 u + 1 u
= 5 u
= 5 x 10
= 50
Answer(s): (a) 10; (b) 120; (c) 140; (d) 50
