Adam and Bryan have some stickers.
58 of Adam's stickers is 40 more than
27 of Bryan's stickers.
Bryan has 280 stickers.
- How many stickers does Adam have?
- How many stickers do Adam and Bryan have altogether?
- How many stickers does Bryan have more than Adam?
(a)
Make the numerators the same.
5 x 28 x 2 of Adam's stickers =
2 x 57 x 5 of Bryan's stickers + 40
1016 of Adam's stickers =
1035 of Bryan's stickers + 40
Let
135 of Bryan's stickers be 1 u.
Number of stickers that Bryan has = 35 u
35 u = 280
1 u = 280 ÷ 35 = 8
1016 of Adam's stickers = 10 u + 40
116 of Adam's stickers = 1 u + 4
1616 of Adam's stickers = 16 u + 64
Number of stickers that Adam has
= 16 u + 64
= 16 x 8 + 64
= 128 + 64
= 192
(b)
Number of stickers that Adam and Bryan have altogether
= 192 + 280
= 472
(c)
Number of stickers that Bryan has more than Adam
= 280 - 192
= 88
Answer(s): (a) 192; (b) 472; (c) 88
