35 of Bryan's money is equal to
49 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.
35 of Bryan's money =
49 of Adam's money
3 x 45 x 4 of Bryan's money =
4 x 39 x 3 of Adam's money
1220 of Bryan's money =
1227 of Adam's money
20 u = 20
1 u = 20 ÷ 20 = 1
Amount that Adam has
= 27 u
= 27 x 1
= $27
(b)
Amount that Adam has more than Bryan
= 27 u - 20 u
= 7 u
= 7 x 1
= $7
(c)
Amount that they have altogether
= 20 u + 27 u
= 47 u
= 47 x 1
= $47
Answer(s): (a) $27; (b) $7; (c) $47
