Bryan |
Adam |
Before |
1 u + 176 |
1 u - 26 |
Change |
- 26 |
+ 26 |
After |
1 u + 150 |
1 u |
(a)
Total number of stickers
= 1 u + 1 u + 150
= 2 u + 150
2 u + 150 = 260
2 u = 260 - 150
2 u = 110
1 u = 110 ÷ 2 = 55
Number of stickers that Bryan has at first
= 1 u + 176
= 55 + 176
= 231
(b)
Number of stickers that Adam has in the end
= 1 u
= 55
Answer(s): (a) 231; (b) 55
