Albert and Min share some beads.
57 of Albert's beads is equal to
59 of Min's beads. Given that Albert has 24 beads less than Min, how many beads do they have altogether?
57 of Albert's beads = 59 of Min's beads
Number of Albert's beads = 7 u
Number of Min's beads = 9 u
Number of beads that Albert has less than Min
= 9 u - 7 u
= 2 u
2 u = 24
1 u = 24 ÷ 2 = 12
Total number of beads
= 7 u + 9 u
= 16 u
= 16 x 12
= 192
Answer(s): 192
