Answer 1

`Sue > Bob`

`100>99`

Explanation:

Given

Bob

`At\ hand = 57`

`Visit\ 1 = 21`

`Visit\ 2= 21`

Sue

`At\ hand = 85`

`Visit = 15`

Required

Compare both the number of seashells they have

First, we calculate the number of seashells Bob has.

This is:

`Bob = At\ hand + Visit\ 1 + Visit\ 2`

Substitute in the right values

`Bob = 57 + 21 + 21`

`Bob = 99`

Next, we calculate the number of seashells Sue has.

This is:

`Sue= At\ hand + Visit`

Substitute in the right values

`Sue= 85 + 15`

`Sue= 100`

By comparison both number of seashells, we have:

`Sue > Bob`

Because:

`100>99`
