Adam and Bryan have some stickers.
16 of the stickers that Adam has is 6 more than
15 of what Bryan has.
Let
15 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)
15 of Bryan's stickers → 1 u
55 of Bryan's stickers → 5 u
Number of Bryan's stickers = 5 u
(b)
16 of Adam's stickers → 1 u + 6
66 of Adam's stickers → 6 x (1 u + 6) = 6 u + 36
Number of Adam's stickers = 6 u + 36
(c)
Total number of stickers
= 5 u + 6 u + 36
= 11 u + 36
(d)
Difference in the number of stickers between Adam and Bryan
= (6 u + 36) - 5 u
= 6 u - 5 u + 36
= 1 u + 36
Answer(s): (a) 5 u; (b) 6 u + 36; (c) 11 u + 36; (d) 1 u + 36
