Bryan |
Before |
1 u + 153 |
1 u - 43 |
Change |
- 43 |
+ 43 |
After |
1 u + 110 |
1 u |
(a)
Total number of stickers
= 1 u + 1 u + 110
= 2 u + 110
2 u + 110 = 430
2 u = 430 - 110
2 u = 320
1 u = 320 ÷ 2 = 160
Number of stickers that Adam has at first
= 1 u + 153
= 160 + 153
= 313
(b)
Number of stickers that Bryan has in the end
= 1 u
= 160
Answer(s): (a) 313; (b) 160
