Answer:


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
