Before |
1 u + 120 |
1 u - 120 |
Change |
- 120 |
+ 120 |
After |
1 u |
1 u |
(a)
Total number of stickers
= 1 u + 1 u
= 2 u
2 u = 300
1 u = 300 ÷ 2 = 150
Number of stickers that Adam has
= 1 u + 120
= 150 + 120
= 270
(b)
Number of stickers that Bryan has
= 1 u - 120
= 150 - 120
= 30
Answer(s): (a) 270; (b) 30
