14 of Adam's money is equal to
910 of Bryan's money.
Adam has $252.
- 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 1 and 9.
LCM of 1 and 9 = 9
1 x 94 x 9 of Adam's money =
9 x 110 x 1 of Bryan's money
936 of Adam's money =
910 of Bryan's money
Amount that Adam has = 36 u
Amount that Bryan has = 10 u
36 u = 252
1 u = 252 ÷ 36 = 7
Amount that Bryan has
= 10 u
= 10 x 7
= $70
(b)
Amount that Adam has more than Bryan
= 36 u - 10 u
= 26 u
= 26 x 7
= $182
(c)
Amount that they have altogether
= 36 u + 10 u
= 46 u
= 46 x 7
= $322
Answer(s): (a) $70; (b) $182; (c) $322
