35 of Adam's money is equal to
14 of Bryan's money.
Adam has $50.
- 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.
35 of Adam's money =
14 of Bryan's money
3 x 15 x 1 of Adam's money =
1 x 34 x 3 of Bryan's money
35 of Adam's money =
312 of Bryan's money
5 u = 50
1 u = 50 ÷ 5 = 10
Amount that Bryan has
= 12 u
= 12 x 10
= $120
(b)
Amount that Bryan has more than Adam
= 12 u - 5 u
= 7 u
= 7 x 10
= $70
(c)
Amount that they have altogether
= 5 u + 12 u
= 17 u
= 17 x 10
= $170
Answer(s): (a) $120; (b) $70; (c) $170
