710 to Mark and Bryan, Cooper had 380 less stickers than Mark. The number of stickers that Bryan had increased by 35%. How many stickers did Mark and Cooper have in the end?
|
Mark |
Bryan |
Cooper |
Before |
8 u |
6 u |
9 u |
Change |
+ 4.2 u |
+ 2.1 u |
- 6.3 u |
After |
12.2 u |
8.1 u |
2.7 u |
Number of stickers that Cooper gave to Mark and Bryan
=
710 x 9 u
= 6.3 u
Number of stickers that Bryan received from Cooper
=
35100 x 6 u
= 2.1 u
Number of stickers that Mark received from Cooper
= 6.3 u - 2.1 u
= 4.2 u
Number of less stickers that Cooper had less than Mark
= 12.2 u - 2.7 u
= 9.5 u
9.5 u = 380
1 u = 380 ÷ 9.5 = 40
Number of stickers that Mark and Cooper had
= 12.2 u + 2.7 u
= 14.9 u
= 14.9 x 40
= 596
Answer(s): 596
