15 to Michael and John, Christopher had 200 less stickers than Michael. The number of stickers that John had increased by 30%. How many stickers did Michael and Christopher have in the end?
|
Michael |
John |
Christopher |
Before |
11 u |
4 u |
8 u |
Change |
+ 0.4 u |
+ 1.2 u |
- 1.6 u |
After |
11.4 u |
5.2 u |
6.4 u |
Number of stickers that Christopher gave to Michael and John
=
15 x 8 u
= 1.6 u
Number of stickers that John received from Christopher
=
30100 x 4 u
= 1.2 u
Number of stickers that Michael received from Christopher
= 1.6 u - 1.2 u
= 0.4 u
Number of less stickers that Christopher had less than Michael
= 11.4 u - 6.4 u
= 5 u
5 u = 200
1 u = 200 ÷ 5 = 40
Number of stickers that Michael and Christopher had
= 11.4 u + 6.4 u
= 17.8 u
= 17.8 x 40
= 712
Answer(s): 712
