34 of Adam's money is equal to
15 of Bryan's money.
Adam has $40.
- 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 =
15 of Bryan's money
3 x 14 x 1 of Adam's money =
1 x 35 x 3 of Bryan's money
34 of Adam's money =
315 of Bryan's money
4 u = 40
1 u = 40 ÷ 4 = 10
Amount that Bryan has
= 15 u
= 15 x 10
= $150
(b)
Amount that Bryan has more than Adam
= 15 u - 4 u
= 11 u
= 11 x 10
= $110
(c)
Amount that they have altogether
= 4 u + 15 u
= 19 u
= 19 x 10
= $190
Answer(s): (a) $150; (b) $110; (c) $190
