|
Billy |
Ahmad |
Cooper |
Before |
12 u |
6 u |
5 u |
Change |
+ 2.9 u |
+ 0.6 u |
- 3.5 u |
After |
14.9 u |
6.6 u |
1.5 u |
Number of stickers that Cooper gave to Billy and Ahmad
=
710 x 5 u
= 3.5 u
Number of stickers that Ahmad received from Cooper
=
10100 x 6 u
= 0.6 u
Number of stickers that Billy received from Cooper
= 3.5 u - 0.6 u
= 2.9 u
Number of less stickers that Cooper had less than Billy
= 14.9 u - 1.5 u
= 13.4 u
13.4 u = 670
1 u = 670 ÷ 13.4 = 50
Number of stickers that Billy and Cooper had
= 14.9 u + 1.5 u
= 16.4 u
= 16.4 x 50
= 820
Answer(s): 820
