(a)
At first
Number of stickers that Bryan has = 900
Number of stickers that Adam has = 300
Total number of stickers = 900 + 300 = 1200
In the end
Number of stickers that Bryan has = 1 u + 100
Number of stickers that Adam has = 1 u
Total number of stickers
= 1 u + 1 u + 100
= 2 u + 100
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 + 100 = 1200
2 u = 1200 - 100 = 1100
1 u = 1100 ÷ 2 = 550
Number of stickers that Bryan in the end
= 1 u + 100
= 550 + 100
= 650
(b)
Number of stickers that Adam has in the end
= 1 u
= 550
(c)
Number of stickers that Bryan gives to Adam
= 550 - 300
= 250
Answer(s): (a) 650; (b) 550; (c) 250
