Adam |
Before |
1 u + 274 |
1 u - 44 |
Change |
- 44 |
+ 44 |
After |
1 u + 230 |
1 u |
(a)
Total number of stickers
= 1 u + 1 u + 230
= 2 u + 230
2 u + 230 = 440
2 u = 440 - 230
2 u = 210
1 u = 210 ÷ 2 = 105
Number of stickers that Bryan has at first
= 1 u + 274
= 105 + 274
= 379
(b)
Number of stickers that Adam has in the end
= 1 u
= 105
Answer(s): (a) 379; (b) 105
