(a)
At first
Number of stickers that Bryan has = 900
Number of stickers that Adam has = 400
Total number of stickers = 900 + 400 = 1300
In the end
Number of stickers that Bryan has = 1 u + 200
Number of stickers that Adam 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 = 1300
2 u = 1300 - 200 = 1100
1 u = 1100 ÷ 2 = 550
Number of stickers that Bryan in the end
= 1 u + 200
= 550 + 200
= 750
(b)
Number of stickers that Adam has in the end
= 1 u
= 550
(c)
Number of stickers that Bryan gives to Adam
= 550 - 400
= 150
Answer(s): (a) 750; (b) 550; (c) 150
