Bryan and Adam have some stickers.
23 of Bryan's stickers is 96 less than
35 of Adam's stickers.
Adam has 300 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.
2x33x3 of Bryan's stickers =
3x25x2 of Adam's stickers - 96
69 of Bryan's stickers =
610 of Adam's stickers - 96
Let
110 of Adam's stickers be 1 u.
Number of stickers that Adam has = 10 u
10 u = 300
1 u = 300 ÷ 10 = 30
69 of Bryan's stickers = 6 u - 96
19 of Bryan's stickers = 1 u - 16
99 of Bryan's stickers = 9 u - 144
Number of stickers that Bryan has
= 9 u - 144
= 9 x 30 - 144
= 270 - 144
= 126
(b)
Number of stickers that Bryan and Adam have altogether
= 9 u - 144 + 10 u
= 126 + 10 x 30
= 126 + 300
= 426
(c)
Number of stickers that Adam have more than Bryan
= 300 - 126
= 174
Answer(s): (a) 126; (b) 426; (c) 174
