Bryan |
Before |
1 u + 296 |
1 u - 36 |
Change |
- 36 |
+ 36 |
After |
1 u + 260 |
1 u |
(a)
Total number of stickers
= 1 u + 1 u + 260
= 2 u + 260
2 u + 260 = 360
2 u = 360 - 260
2 u = 100
1 u = 100 ÷ 2 = 50
Number of stickers that Adam has at first
= 1 u + 296
= 50 + 296
= 346
(b)
Number of stickers that Bryan has in the end
= 1 u
= 50
Answer(s): (a) 346; (b) 50
