35 of Bryan's money is equal to
710 of Adam's money.
Bryan has $245.
- 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 3 and 7.
LCM of 3 and 7 = 21
3 x 75 x 7 of Bryan's money =
7 x 310 x 3 of Adam's money
2135 of Bryan's money =
2130 of Adam's money
Amount that Bryan has = 35 u
Amount that Adam has = 30 u
35 u = 245
1 u = 245 ÷ 35 = 7
Amount that Adam has
= 30 u
= 30 x 7
= $210
(b)
Amount that Bryan has more than Adam
= 35 u - 30 u
= 5 u
= 5 x 7
= $35
(c)
Amount that they have altogether
= 35 u + 30 u
= 65 u
= 65 x 7
= $455
Answer(s): (a) $210; (b) $35; (c) $455
