Total |
Before |
1 u + 200 |
1 u - 200 |
4000 |
Change |
- 200 |
+ 200 |
|
After |
1 u |
1 u |
2 u |
(a)
In the end
Number of stickers that Adam has = 1 u
Number of stickers that Bryan has = 1 u
Total number of stickers = 1 u + 1 u = 2 u
At first
Number of stickers that Adam has = 1 u + 200
Number of stickers that Bryan has = 1 u - 200
2 u = 4000
1 u = 4000 ÷ 2 = 2000
Number of stickers that Bryan has at first
= 1 u - 200
= 2000 - 200
= 1800
(b)
Number of stickers that each has in the end
= 1 u
= 2000
Answer(s): (a) 1800; (b) 2000
