Change |

After |
1 u + 80 |
1 u |
2 u + 80 |
(a)
In the end
Number of stickers that Bryan has = 1 u + 80
Number of stickers that Adam has = 1 u
Total number of stickers = 1 u + 1 u + 80 = 2 u + 80
At first
Number of stickers that Bryan has = 1 u + 80 + 60 = 1 u + 140
Number of stickers that Adam has = 1 u - 60
The total number of stickers at first and in the end remains unchanged.
Total number of stickers in the end = Total number of stickers at first
2 u + 80 = 600
2 u = 600 - 80
2 u = 520
1 u = 520 ÷ 2 = 260
Number of stickers that Bryan has at first
= 1 u + 140
= 260 + 140
= 400
(b)
Number of stickers that Adam has in the end
= 1 u
= 260
Answer(s): (a) 400; (b) 260
