9 x 9 = 81 u |
1 x 9 = 9 u |
10 x 9 = 90 u |

After |
8 x 10 = 80 u |
1 x 10 = 10 u |
9 x 10 = 90 u |
(a)
Change X times into units.
There is an internal transfer of 13 stickers from Bryan to Adam.
The total remains unchanged.
LCM of 10 and 9 is 90.
Number of stickers that Bryan gives to Adam
= 81 u - 80 u
= 1 u
Difference in the number of stickers between Bryan and Adam at first
= 81 u - 9 u
= 72 u
(b)
Difference in the number of stickers between Bryan and Adam in the end
= 80 u - 10 u
= 70 u
(c)
Difference in the number of stickers that Bryan has at first and in the end
= 81 u - 80 u
= 1 u
(d)
Difference in the number of stickers that Adam has at first and in the end
= 10 u - 9 u
= 1 u
Answer(s): (a) 72; (b) 70; (c) 1; (d) 1
