(a)
Number of stickers that each child has at first is the same.
Let the number of sticker that each child has at first be 1 u.
Total number of stickers in the end
= 3 u + 4 u + 2 u + 0.5 u
= 9.5 u
9.5 u = 760
1 u = 760 ÷ 9.5 = 80
Number of stickers that Bryan has in the end
= 3 u
= 3 x 80
= 240
(b)
Number of stickers that Christian has in the end
= 4 u
= 4 x 80
= 320
(c)
Number of stickers that David has in the end
= 2 u
= 2 x 80
= 160
(d)
Number of stickers that Adam has in the end
= 0.5 u
= 0.5 x 80
= 40
Answer(s): (a) 240; (b) 320; (c) 160; (d) 40
