16 of Adam's money is equal to
25 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 1 and 2.
LCM of 1 and 2 = 2
1 x 26 x 2 of Adam's money =
2 x 15 x 1 of Bryan's money
212 of Adam's money =
25 of Bryan's money
Amount that Adam has = 12 u
Amount that Bryan has = 5 u
12 u = 108
1 u = 108 ÷ 12 = 9
Amount that Bryan has
= 5 u
= 5 x 9
= $45
(b)
Amount that Adam has more than Bryan
= 12 u - 5 u
= 7 u
= 7 x 9
= $63
(c)
Amount that they have altogether
= 12 u + 5 u
= 17 u
= 17 x 9
= $153
Answer(s): (a) $45; (b) $63; (c) $153
