Adam and Bryan have some stickers.
47 of Adam's stickers is 24 more than
25 of Bryan's stickers.
Bryan has 300 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.
4 x 17 x 1 of Adam's stickers =
2 x 25 x 2 of Bryan's stickers + 24
47 of Adam's stickers =
410 of Bryan's stickers + 24
Let
110 of Bryan's stickers be 1 u.
Number of stickers that Bryan has = 10 u
10 u = 300
1 u = 300 ÷ 10 = 30
47 of Adam's stickers = 4 u + 24
17 of Adam's stickers = 1 u + 6
77 of Adam's stickers = 7 u + 42
Number of stickers that Adam has
= 7 u + 42
= 7 x 30 + 42
= 210 + 42
= 252
(b)
Number of stickers that Adam and Bryan have altogether
= 252 + 300
= 552
(c)
Number of stickers that Bryan has more than Adam
= 300 - 252
= 48
Answer(s): (a) 252; (b) 552; (c) 48
