1 + 99 = 100
-2 - 98 = -100 => 100 - 100 = 0
3 + 97= 100
-4 - 96 = -100 => 100 - 100 = 0
There are 99 numbers so only 1 number will be left after all the other number knock off each other. It is 50 ((99+1)/2).
Do take note that all even numbers are negative and odd number are positive. Therefore the amount that is left is -50.
Please help to solve....scratching head already....

Hi, Ida! There is a hint for part a. Which is lesser: flour or rice? Once you know which is lesser, you can find the mass of the flour.
For part b, use part a answer to add to the mass of rice to get the total mass. :)

Hi LadyMummy Ida. You can solve this problem from two approaches.
First, draw 1 unit of red marbles.
Then, for the red marbles model, draw the additional 7 marbles beside it.
Multiply this new model by 2 for the green marbles. You will get 2 units + 14 marbles.
Then, refer to the other image below for the model. Solution is within the model. :)

The second approach is to start from two units of green marbles and one unit of red marbles. Then, remove 25 from green, 7 from red.
You will still end up with the same model. :)

Hi, since there were equal green and red left in the end, then the difference between green and red at first was the same as the difference between the removed green and red.
At first:
Difference: 1u = 25-7 = 18
Green: 2u = 18×2 = 36
Total: 3u = 36+18 = 54
End total: 54-25-7 = 22
