23 of Adam's money is equal to
59 of Bryan's money.
Adam has $90.
- How much does Bryan have?
- How much does Bryan have more than Adam?
- How much do they have altogether?
(a)
Make the numerators the same.
23 of Adam's money =
59 of Bryan's money
2 x 53 x 5 of Adam's money =
5 x 29 x 2 of Bryan's money
1015 of Adam's money =
1018 of Bryan's money
15 u = 90
1 u = 90 ÷ 15 = 6
Amount that Bryan has
= 18 u
= 18 x 6
= $108
(b)
Amount that Bryan has more than Adam
= 18 u - 15 u
= 3 u
= 3 x 6
= $18
(c)
Amount that they have altogether
= 15 u + 18 u
= 33 u
= 33 x 6
= $198
Answer(s): (a) $108; (b) $18; (c) $198
