Adam and Bryan have some stickers.
12 of Adam's stickers is 8 less than
16 of Bryan's stickers.
Let
12 of Adam's stickers be 1 u.
- Number of stickers that Adam has = _____
- Number of stickers that Bryan has = _____
- Total number of stickers = _____
- Difference in the number of stickers between Bryan and Adam = _____
(a)
12 of Adam's stickers = 1 u
22 of Adam's stickers = 2 u
(b)
16 of Bryan's stickers =
12 of Adam's stickers + 8
16 of Bryan's stickers = 1 u + 8
66 of Bryan's stickers = 6(1 u + 8) = 6 u + 48
(c)
Total number of stickers
= 2 u + 6 u + 48
= 8 u + 48
(d)
Difference in the number of stickers between Bryan and Adam
= 6 u + 48 - 2 u
= 6 u - 2 u + 48
= 4 u + 48
Answer(s): (a) 2 u; (b) 6 u + 48; (c) 8 u + 48; (d) 4 u + 48
