The ratio of the number of red stickers to green stickers is 8 : 3.
After Adam buys 40 red stickers and 70 green stickers,
there is an equal number of red stickers and green stickers.
How many stickers does Adam have now?
|
Red |
Green |
Before |
8 u |
3 u |
Change |
+ 40 |
+ 70 |
After |
8 u + 40 |
3 u + 70 |
The number of red stickers and green stickers are equal in the end.
8 u + 40 = 3 u + 70
8 u - 3 u = 70 - 40
5 u = 30
1 u = 30 ÷ 5 = 6
Number of stickers that Adam has now
= 8 u + 40 + 3 u + 70
= 8 u + 3 u + 40 + 70
= 11 u + 110
= 11 x 6 + 110
= 66 + 110
= 176
Answer(s): 176
