Adam and Bryan have some stickers.
34 of Adam's stickers is 24 less than
25 of Bryan's stickers.
Bryan has 195 stickers.
- How many stickers does Adam have?
- How many stickers do Adam and Bryan have altogether?
- How many stickers does Bryan have more than Adam?
(a)
Make the numerators the same.
3x24x2 of Adam's stickers =
2x35x3 of Bryan's stickers - 24
68 of Adam's stickers =
615 of Bryan's stickers - 24
Let
115 of Bryan's stickers be 1 u.
Number of stickers that Bryan has = 15 u
15 u = 195
1 u = 195 ÷ 15 = 13
68 of Adam's stickers = 6 u - 24
18 of Adam's stickers = 1 u - 4
88 of Adam's stickers = 8 u - 32
Number of stickers that Adam has
= 8 u - 32
= 8 x 13 - 32
= 104 - 32
= 72
(b)
Number of stickers that Adam and Bryan have altogether
= 72 + 195
= 267
(c)
Number of stickers that Bryan have more than Adam
= 195 - 72
= 123
Answer(s): (a) 72; (b) 267; (c) 123
