37 of Adam's money is equal to
58 of Bryan's money.
Adam has $210.
- 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 3 and 5.
LCM of 3 and 5 = 15
3 x 57 x 5 of Adam's money =
5 x 38 x 3 of Bryan's money
1535 of Adam's money =
1524 of Bryan's money
Amount that Adam has = 35 u
Amount that Bryan has = 24 u
35 u = 210
1 u = 210 ÷ 35 = 6
Amount that Bryan has
= 24 u
= 24 x 6
= $144
(b)
Amount that Adam has more than Bryan
= 35 u - 24 u
= 11 u
= 11 x 6
= $66
(c)
Amount that they have altogether
= 35 u + 24 u
= 59 u
= 59 x 6
= $354
Answer(s): (a) $144; (b) $66; (c) $354
