The ratio of the number of green stickers to blue stickers is 5 : 3.
After Adam buys 20 green stickers and 50 blue stickers,
there is an equal number of green stickers and blue stickers.
How many stickers does Adam have now?
|
Green |
Blue |
Before |
5 u |
3 u |
Change |
+ 20 |
+ 50 |
After |
5 u + 20 |
3 u + 50 |
The number of green stickers and blue stickers are equal in the end.
5 u + 20 = 3 u + 50
5 u - 3 u = 50 - 20
2 u = 30
1 u = 30 ÷ 2 = 15
Number of stickers that Adam has now
= 5 u + 20 + 3 u + 50
= 5 u + 3 u + 20 + 50
= 8 u + 70
= 8 x 15 + 70
= 120 + 70
= 190
Answer(s): 190
