Bryan |
Before |
1 u + 175 |
1 u - 25 |
Change |
- 25 |
+ 25 |
After |
1 u + 150 |
1 u |
(a)
Total number of stickers
= 1 u + 1 u + 150
= 2 u + 150
2 u + 150 = 250
2 u = 250 - 150
2 u = 100
1 u = 100 ÷ 2 = 50
Number of stickers that Adam has at first
= 1 u + 175
= 50 + 175
= 225
(b)
Number of stickers that Bryan has in the end
= 1 u
= 50
Answer(s): (a) 225; (b) 50
