110 of Adam's money is equal to
49 of Bryan's money.
Adam has $120.
- 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 4.
LCM of 1 and 4 = 4
1 x 410 x 4 of Adam's money =
4 x 19 x 1 of Bryan's money
440 of Adam's money =
49 of Bryan's money
Amount that Adam has = 40 u
Amount that Bryan has = 9 u
40 u = 120
1 u = 120 ÷ 40 = 3
Amount that Bryan has
= 9 u
= 9 x 3
= $27
(b)
Amount that Adam has more than Bryan
= 40 u - 9 u
= 31 u
= 31 x 3
= $93
(c)
Amount that they have altogether
= 40 u + 9 u
= 49 u
= 49 x 3
= $147
Answer(s): (a) $27; (b) $93; (c) $147
