110 of Bryan's money is equal to
29 of Adam's money.
Bryan has $220.
- 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 2.
LCM of 1 and 2 = 2
1 x 210 x 2 of Bryan's money =
2 x 19 x 1 of Adam's money
220 of Bryan's money =
29 of Adam's money
Amount that Bryan has = 20 u
Amount that Adam has = 9 u
20 u = 220
1 u = 220 ÷ 20 = 11
Amount that Adam has
= 9 u
= 9 x 11
= $99
(b)
Amount that Bryan has more than Adam
= 20 u - 9 u
= 11 u
= 11 x 11
= $121
(c)
Amount that they have altogether
= 20 u + 9 u
= 29 u
= 29 x 11
= $319
Answer(s): (a) $99; (b) $121; (c) $319
