25 of Bryan's money is equal to
34 of Adam's money.
Bryan has $150.
- 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 2 and 3.
LCM of 2 and 3 = 6
2 x 35 x 3 of Bryan's money =
3 x 24 x 2 of Adam's money
615 of Bryan's money =
68 of Adam's money
Amount that Bryan has = 15 u
Amount that Adam has = 8 u
15 u = 150
1 u = 150 ÷ 15 = 10
Amount that Adam has
= 8 u
= 8 x 10
= $80
(b)
Amount that Bryan has more than Adam
= 15 u - 8 u
= 7 u
= 7 x 10
= $70
(c)
Amount that they have altogether
= 15 u + 8 u
= 23 u
= 23 x 10
= $230
Answer(s): (a) $80; (b) $70; (c) $230
