Before |
1 u + 140 |
1 u - 140 |
Change |
- 140 |
+ 140 |
After |
1 u |
1 u |
(a)
Total number of stickers
= 1 u + 1 u
= 2 u
2 u = 500
1 u = 500 ÷ 2 = 250
Number of stickers that Bryan has
= 1 u + 140
= 250 + 140
= 390
(b)
Number of stickers that Adam has
= 1 u - 140
= 250 - 140
= 110
Answer(s): (a) 390; (b) 110
