Adam |
Before |
1 u + 210 |
1 u - 30 |
Change |
- 30 |
+ 30 |
After |
1 u + 180 |
1 u |
(a)
Total number of stickers
= 1 u + 1 u + 180
= 2 u + 180
2 u + 180 = 300
2 u = 300 - 180
2 u = 120
1 u = 120 ÷ 2 = 60
Number of stickers that Bryan has at first
= 1 u + 210
= 60 + 210
= 270
(b)
Number of stickers that Adam has in the end
= 1 u
= 60
Answer(s): (a) 270; (b) 60
