Bryan |
Adam |
Before |
1 u + 443 |
1 u - 43 |
Change |
- 43 |
+ 43 |
After |
1 u + 400 |
1 u |
(a)
Total number of stickers
= 1 u + 1 u + 400
= 2 u + 400
2 u + 400 = 430
2 u = 430 - 400
2 u = 30
1 u = 30 ÷ 2 = 15
Number of stickers that Bryan has at first
= 1 u + 443
= 15 + 443
= 458
(b)
Number of stickers that Adam has in the end
= 1 u
= 15
Answer(s): (a) 458; (b) 15
