14 of Adam's stickers is 5 more than
18 of Bryan's stickers.
Let
18 of Bryan's stickers be 1 u.
- Number of stickers that Bryan has = _____
- Number of stickers that Adam has = _____
- Total number of stickers = _____
- Difference in the number of stickers between Bryan and Adam = _____
(a)
18 of Bryan's stickers = 1 u
88 of Bryan's stickers = 8 u
Number of stickers that Bryan has = 8 u
(b)
14 of Adam's stickers =
18 of Bryan's stickers + 5
14 of Adam's stickers = 1 u + 5
44 of Adam's stickers = 4(1 u + 5) = 4 u + 20
Number of stickers that Adam has = 4 u + 20
(c)
Total number of stickers
= 8 u + 4 u + 20
= 12 u + 20
(d)
Difference in the number of stickers between Adam and Bryan
= 8 u - (4 u + 20)
= 4 u - 4 u - 20
= 4 u - 20
Answer(s): (a) 8 u; (b) 4 u + 20; (c) 12 u + 20; (d) 4 u - 20
