(a)
At first
Number of stickers that Adam has = 900
Number of stickers that Bryan has = 500
Total number of stickers = 900 + 500 = 1400
In the end
Number of stickers that Adam has = 1 u + 200
Number of stickers that Bryan has = 1 u
Total number of stickers
= 1 u + 1 u + 200
= 2 u + 200
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 + 200 = 1400
2 u = 1400 - 200 = 1200
1 u = 1200 ÷ 2 = 600
Number of stickers that Adam in the end
= 1 u + 200
= 600 + 200
= 800
(b)
Number of stickers that Bryan has in the end
= 1 u
= 600
(c)
Number of stickers that Adam gives to Bryan
= 600 - 500
= 100
Answer(s): (a) 800; (b) 600; (c) 100
