After Bryan gives
38 of his money to Adam,
Adam has $50 more than Bryan.
- Difference in the amount between Bryan and Adam at first = _____ u
- Amount that Adam has in the end = _____ u
- Total amount that they have = _____ u
- 1 u = $_____

Bryan |
Adam |
Comparing between Bryan and Adam at first |
7 x 8 = 56 u |
8 x 8 = 64 u |
Before |
8 x 7 = 56 u |
|
Change |
3 x 7 = - 21 u |
+ 21 u |
After |
5 x 7 = 35 u |
85 u |
(a)
Change ratio into units.
The amount that Bryan has at first is repeated.
Amount that Bryan has at first = 56 u
Amount that Adam has at first = 64 u
Difference in the amount between Bryan and Adam at first
= 64 u - 56 u
= 8 u
(b)
Amount that Adam has in the end
= 64 u + 21 u
= 85 u
(c)
Total amount that they have
= 56 u + 64 u
= 120 u
(d)
Difference in the amount that they have in the end
= 85 u - 35 u
= 50 u
50 u = 50
1 u = 50 ÷ 50 = 1
Answer(s): (a) 8; (b) 85; (c) 120; (d) 1
