25 of Adam's money is equal to
35 of Bryan's money.
Adam has $195.
- 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 2 and 3.
LCM of 2 and 3 = 6
2 x 35 x 3 of Adam's money =
3 x 25 x 2 of Bryan's money
615 of Adam's money =
610 of Bryan's money
Amount that Adam has = 15 u
Amount that Bryan has = 10 u
15 u = 195
1 u = 195 ÷ 15 = 13
Amount that Bryan has
= 10 u
= 10 x 13
= $130
(b)
Amount that Adam has more than Bryan
= 15 u - 10 u
= 5 u
= 5 x 13
= $65
(c)
Amount that they have altogether
= 15 u + 10 u
= 25 u
= 25 x 13
= $325
Answer(s): (a) $130; (b) $65; (c) $325
