Adam |
Before |
1 u + 183 |
1 u - 33 |
Change |
- 33 |
+ 33 |
After |
1 u + 150 |
1 u |
(a)
Total number of stickers
= 1 u + 1 u + 150
= 2 u + 150
2 u + 150 = 330
2 u = 330 - 150
2 u = 180
1 u = 180 ÷ 2 = 90
Number of stickers that Bryan has at first
= 1 u + 183
= 90 + 183
= 273
(b)
Number of stickers that Adam has in the end
= 1 u
= 90
Answer(s): (a) 273; (b) 90
