34 of Bryan's money is equal to
15 of Adam's money.
Bryan has $20.
- How much does Adam have?
- How much does Bryan have less than Adam?
- How much do they have altogether?
(a)
Make the numerators the same.
34 of Bryan's money =
15 of Adam's money
3 x 14 x 1 of Bryan's money =
1 x 35 x 3 of Adam's money
34 of Bryan's money =
315 of Adam's money
4 u = 20
1 u = 20 ÷ 4 = 5
Amount that Adam has
= 15 u
= 15 x 5
= $75
(b)
Amount that Bryan has less than Adam
= 15 u - 4 u
= 11 u
= 11 x 5
= $55
(c)
Amount that they have altogether
= 4 u + 15 u
= 19 u
= 19 x 5
= $95
Answer(s): (a) $75; (b) $55; (c) $95
