19 of Bryan's money is equal to
67 of Adam's money.
Bryan has $162.
- How much does Adam have?
- How much does Bryan have more than Adam?
- How much do they have altogether?
(a)
Make the numerators the same using the LCM of 1 and 6.
LCM of 1 and 6 = 6
1 x 69 x 6 of Bryan's money =
6 x 17 x 1 of Adam's money
654 of Bryan's money =
67 of Adam's money
Amount that Bryan has = 54 u
Amount that Adam has = 7 u
54 u = 162
1 u = 162 ÷ 54 = 3
Amount that Adam has
= 7 u
= 7 x 3
= $21
(b)
Amount that Bryan has more than Adam
= 54 u - 7 u
= 47 u
= 47 x 3
= $141
(c)
Amount that they have altogether
= 54 u + 7 u
= 61 u
= 61 x 3
= $183
Answer(s): (a) $21; (b) $141; (c) $183
