35 of Bryan's money is equal to
27 of Adam's money.
Bryan has $50.
- 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 =
27 of Adam's money
3 x 25 x 2 of Bryan's money =
2 x 37 x 3 of Adam's money
610 of Bryan's money =
621 of Adam's money
10 u = 50
1 u = 50 ÷ 10 = 5
Amount that Adam has
= 21 u
= 21 x 5
= $105
(b)
Amount that Adam has more than Bryan
= 21 u - 10 u
= 11 u
= 11 x 5
= $55
(c)
Amount that they have altogether
= 10 u + 21 u
= 31 u
= 31 x 5
= $155
Answer(s): (a) $105; (b) $55; (c) $155
