Bryan |
Adam |
Before |
1 u + 133 |
1 u - 23 |
Change |
- 23 |
+ 23 |
After |
1 u + 110 |
1 u |
(a)
Total number of stickers
= 1 u + 1 u + 110
= 2 u + 110
2 u + 110 = 230
2 u = 230 - 110
2 u = 120
1 u = 120 ÷ 2 = 60
Number of stickers that Bryan has at first
= 1 u + 133
= 60 + 133
= 193
(b)
Number of stickers that Adam has in the end
= 1 u
= 60
Answer(s): (a) 193; (b) 60
