34 of Adam's money is equal to
18 of Bryan's money.
Adam has $20.
- 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.
34 of Adam's money =
18 of Bryan's money
3 x 14 x 1 of Adam's money =
1 x 38 x 3 of Bryan's money
34 of Adam's money =
324 of Bryan's money
4 u = 20
1 u = 20 ÷ 4 = 5
Amount that Bryan has
= 24 u
= 24 x 5
= $120
(b)
Amount that Bryan has more than Adam
= 24 u - 4 u
= 20 u
= 20 x 5
= $100
(c)
Amount that they have altogether
= 4 u + 24 u
= 28 u
= 28 x 5
= $140
Answer(s): (a) $120; (b) $100; (c) $140
