Adam and Bryan have some stickers.
15 of the stickers that Adam has is 4 more than
14 of what Bryan has.
Let
14 of Bryan's stickers be 1 u.
- Number of stickers that Bryan has = ___________
- Number of stickers that Adam has = ___________
- Total number of stickers = ___________
- Difference in the number of stickers between Adam and Bryan = ___________
(a)
14 of Bryan's stickers → 1 u
44 of Bryan's stickers → 4 u
Number of Bryan's stickers = 4 u
(b)
15 of Adam's stickers → 1 u + 4
55 of Adam's stickers → 5 x (1 u + 4) = 5 u + 20
Number of Adam's stickers = 5 u + 20
(c)
Total number of stickers
= 4 u + 5 u + 20
= 9 u + 20
(d)
Difference in the number of stickers between Adam and Bryan
= (5 u + 20) - 4 u
= 5 u - 4 u + 20
= 1 u + 20
Answer(s): (a) 4 u; (b) 5 u + 20; (c) 9 u + 20; (d) 1 u + 20
