Bryan and Adam have some stickers.
34 of Bryan's stickers is 54 less than
25 of Adam's stickers.
Adam has 240 stickers.
- How many stickers does Bryan have?
- How many stickers do Bryan and Adam have altogether?
- How many stickers does Adam have more than Bryan?
(a)
Make the numerators the same.
3x24x2 of Bryan's stickers =
2x35x3 of Adam's stickers - 54
68 of Bryan's stickers =
615 of Adam's stickers - 54
Let
115 of Adam's stickers be 1 u.
Number of stickers that Adam has = 15 u
15 u = 240
1 u = 240 ÷ 15 = 16
68 of Bryan's stickers = 6 u - 54
18 of Bryan's stickers = 1 u - 9
88 of Bryan's stickers = 8 u - 72
Number of stickers that Bryan has
= 8 u - 72
= 8 x 16 - 72
= 128 - 72
= 56
(b)
Number of stickers that Bryan and Adam have altogether
= 56 + 240
= 296
(c)
Number of stickers that Adam have more than Bryan
= 240 - 56
= 184
Answer(s): (a) 56; (b) 296; (c) 184
