47 of Adam's money is equal to
67 of Bryan's money.
Adam has $168.
- 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 4 and 6.
LCM of 4 and 6 = 12
4 x 37 x 3 of Adam's money =
6 x 27 x 2 of Bryan's money
1221 of Adam's money =
1214 of Bryan's money
Amount that Adam has = 21 u
Amount that Bryan has = 14 u
21 u = 168
1 u = 168 ÷ 21 = 8
Amount that Bryan has
= 14 u
= 14 x 8
= $112
(b)
Amount that Adam has more than Bryan
= 21 u - 14 u
= 7 u
= 7 x 8
= $56
(c)
Amount that they have altogether
= 21 u + 14 u
= 35 u
= 35 x 8
= $280
Answer(s): (a) $112; (b) $56; (c) $280
