(a)
At first
Number of stickers that Adam has = 500
Number of stickers that Bryan has = 300
Total number of stickers = 500 + 300 = 800
In the end
Number of stickers that Adam has = 1 u + 100
Number of stickers that Bryan 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 = 800
2 u = 800 - 100 = 700
1 u = 700 ÷ 2 = 350
Number of stickers that Adam in the end
= 1 u + 100
= 350 + 100
= 450
(b)
Number of stickers that Bryan has in the end
= 1 u
= 350
(c)
Number of stickers that Adam gives to Bryan
= 350 - 300
= 50
Answer(s): (a) 450; (b) 350; (c) 50
