110 of Bryan's money is equal to
58 of Adam's money.
Bryan has $300.
- 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 5.
LCM of 1 and 5 = 5
1 x 510 x 5 of Bryan's money =
5 x 18 x 1 of Adam's money
550 of Bryan's money =
58 of Adam's money
Amount that Bryan has = 50 u
Amount that Adam has = 8 u
50 u = 300
1 u = 300 ÷ 50 = 6
Amount that Adam has
= 8 u
= 8 x 6
= $48
(b)
Amount that Bryan has more than Adam
= 50 u - 8 u
= 42 u
= 42 x 6
= $252
(c)
Amount that they have altogether
= 50 u + 8 u
= 58 u
= 58 x 6
= $348
Answer(s): (a) $48; (b) $252; (c) $348
