| Value |
1 u |
1 u + 10 |
|
| Total value |
2 u |
6 u + 60 |
8 u + 60 |
Number of stickers in each box = 1 u
Number of stickers in each bag = 1 u + 10
Total number of stickers in the boxes = 2 x 1 u = 2 u
Total number of stickers in the bags = 6(1 u + 10) = 6 u + 60
Total number of stickers
= 6 u + 2 u + 60
= 8 u + 60
8 u + 60 = 108
8 u = 108 - 60
8 u = 48
1 u = 48 ÷ 8 = 6
Number of stickers in each bag
= 1 u + 10
= 6 + 10
= 16
Answer(s): 16
