Bobby and Julie share some beads.
910 of Bobby's beads is equal to
914 of Julie's beads. Given that Julie has 12 beads more than Bobby, how many beads do they have altogether?
910 of Bobby's beads = 914 of Julie's beads
Number of Bobby's beads = 10 u
Number of Julie's beads = 14 u
Number of beads that Julie has more than Bobby
= 14 u - 10 u
= 4 u
4 u = 12
1 u = 12 ÷ 4 = 3
Total number of beads
= 10 u + 14 u
= 24 u
= 24 x 3
= 72
Answer(s): 72
