34 of Bryan's money is equal to
47 of Adam's money.
Bryan has $80.
- 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.
34 of Bryan's money =
47 of Adam's money
3 x 44 x 4 of Bryan's money =
4 x 37 x 3 of Adam's money
1216 of Bryan's money =
1221 of Adam's money
16 u = 80
1 u = 80 ÷ 16 = 5
Amount that Adam has
= 21 u
= 21 x 5
= $105
(b)
Amount that Adam has more than Bryan
= 21 u - 16 u
= 5 u
= 5 x 5
= $25
(c)
Amount that they have altogether
= 16 u + 21 u
= 37 u
= 37 x 5
= $185
Answer(s): (a) $105; (b) $25; (c) $185
