Bryan |
Before |
1 u + 348 |
1 u - 38 |
Change |
- 38 |
+ 38 |
After |
1 u + 310 |
1 u |
(a)
Total number of stickers
= 1 u + 1 u + 310
= 2 u + 310
2 u + 310 = 380
2 u = 380 - 310
2 u = 70
1 u = 70 ÷ 2 = 35
Number of stickers that Adam has at first
= 1 u + 348
= 35 + 348
= 383
(b)
Number of stickers that Bryan has in the end
= 1 u
= 35
Answer(s): (a) 383; (b) 35
