710 of Bryan's money is equal to
56 of Adam's money.
Bryan has $150.
- 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 7 and 5.
LCM of 7 and 5 = 35
7 x 510 x 5 of Bryan's money =
5 x 76 x 7 of Adam's money
3550 of Bryan's money =
3542 of Adam's money
Amount that Bryan has = 50 u
Amount that Adam has = 42 u
50 u = 150
1 u = 150 ÷ 50 = 3
Amount that Adam has
= 42 u
= 42 x 3
= $126
(b)
Amount that Bryan has more than Adam
= 50 u - 42 u
= 8 u
= 8 x 3
= $24
(c)
Amount that they have altogether
= 50 u + 42 u
= 92 u
= 92 x 3
= $276
Answer(s): (a) $126; (b) $24; (c) $276
