Bryan |
Adam |
Before |
1 u + 298 |
1 u - 38 |
Change |
- 38 |
+ 38 |
After |
1 u + 260 |
1 u |
(a)
Total number of stickers
= 1 u + 1 u + 260
= 2 u + 260
2 u + 260 = 380
2 u = 380 - 260
2 u = 120
1 u = 120 ÷ 2 = 60
Number of stickers that Bryan has at first
= 1 u + 298
= 60 + 298
= 358
(b)
Number of stickers that Adam has in the end
= 1 u
= 60
Answer(s): (a) 358; (b) 60
