The ratio of the number of red stickers to blue stickers is 9 : 5.
After Adam buys 30 red stickers and 70 blue stickers,
there is an equal number of red stickers and blue stickers.
How many stickers does Adam have now?
|
Red |
Blue |
Before |
9 u |
5 u |
Change |
+ 30 |
+ 70 |
After |
9 u + 30 |
5 u + 70 |
The number of red stickers and blue stickers are equal in the end.
9 u + 30 = 5 u + 70
9 u - 5 u = 70 - 30
4 u = 40
1 u = 40 ÷ 4 = 10
Number of stickers that Adam has now
= 9 u + 30 + 5 u + 70
= 9 u + 5 u + 30 + 70
= 14 u + 100
= 14 x 10 + 100
= 140 + 100
= 240
Answer(s): 240
