(a)
At first
Number of stickers that Bryan has = 800
Number of stickers that Adam has = 300
Total number of stickers = 800 + 300 = 1100
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 = 1100
2 u = 1100 - 100 = 1000
1 u = 1000 ÷ 2 = 500
Number of stickers that Bryan in the end
= 1 u + 100
= 500 + 100
= 600
(b)
Number of stickers that Adam has in the end
= 1 u
= 500
(c)
Number of stickers that Bryan gives to Adam
= 500 - 300
= 200
Answer(s): (a) 600; (b) 500; (c) 200
