Bryan |
Before |
1 u + 179 |
1 u - 19 |
Change |
- 19 |
+ 19 |
After |
1 u + 160 |
1 u |
(a)
Total number of stickers
= 1 u + 1 u + 160
= 2 u + 160
2 u + 160 = 190
2 u = 190 - 160
2 u = 30
1 u = 30 ÷ 2 = 15
Number of stickers that Adam has at first
= 1 u + 179
= 15 + 179
= 194
(b)
Number of stickers that Bryan has in the end
= 1 u
= 15
Answer(s): (a) 194; (b) 15
