Ahmad and Gwen share some beads.
79 of Ahmad's beads is equal to
715 of Gwen's beads. Given that Gwen has 24 beads more than Ahmad, how many beads do they have altogether?
79 of Ahmad's beads = 715 of Gwen's beads
Number of Ahmad's beads = 9 u
Number of Gwen's beads = 15 u
Number of beads that Gwen has more than Ahmad
= 15 u - 9 u
= 6 u
6 u = 24
1 u = 24 ÷ 6 = 4
Total number of beads
= 9 u + 15 u
= 24 u
= 24 x 4
= 96
Answer(s): 96
