34 of Bryan's money is equal to
12 of Adam's money.
Bryan has $20.
- How much does Adam have?
- How much does Adam have more than Bryan?
- How much do they have altogether?
(a)
Make the numerators the same.
34 of Bryan's money =
12 of Adam's money
3 x 14 x 1 of Bryan's money =
1 x 32 x 3 of Adam's money
34 of Bryan's money =
36 of Adam's money
4 u = 20
1 u = 20 ÷ 4 = 5
Amount that Adam has
= 6 u
= 6 x 5
= $30
(b)
Amount that Adam has more than Bryan
= 6 u - 4 u
= 2 u
= 2 x 5
= $10
(c)
Amount that they have altogether
= 4 u + 6 u
= 10 u
= 10 x 5
= $50
Answer(s): (a) $30; (b) $10; (c) $50
