Before |
9 u |
5 u |
7 u |

+ 4.5 u |
+ 0.75 u |
- 5.25 u |
After |
13.5 u |
5.75 u |
1.75 u |
Number of stickers that Clint gave to Albert and Billy
=
34 x 7 u
= 5.25 u
Number of stickers that Billy received from Clint
=
15100 x 5 u
= 0.75 u
Number of stickers that Albert received from Clint
= 5.25 u - 0.75 u
= 4.5 u
Number of less stickers that Clint had less than Albert
= 13.5 u - 1.75 u
= 11.75 u
11.75 u = 470
1 u = 470 ÷ 11.75 = 40
Number of stickers that Albert and Clint had
= 13.5 u + 1.75 u
= 15.25 u
= 15.25 x 40
= 610
Answer(s): 610
