59 of Adam's money is equal to
35 of Bryan's money.
Adam has $108.
- How much does Bryan have?
- How much does Adam have more than Bryan?
- How much do they have altogether?
(a)
Make the numerators the same using the LCM of 5 and 3.
LCM of 5 and 3 = 15
5 x 39 x 3 of Adam's money =
3 x 55 x 5 of Bryan's money
1527 of Adam's money =
1525 of Bryan's money
Amount that Adam has = 27 u
Amount that Bryan has = 25 u
27 u = 108
1 u = 108 ÷ 27 = 4
Amount that Bryan has
= 25 u
= 25 x 4
= $100
(b)
Amount that Adam has more than Bryan
= 27 u - 25 u
= 2 u
= 2 x 4
= $8
(c)
Amount that they have altogether
= 27 u + 25 u
= 52 u
= 52 x 4
= $208
Answer(s): (a) $100; (b) $8; (c) $208
