Adam and Bryan have some stickers.
35 of Adam's stickers is 33 more than
18 of Bryan's stickers.
Bryan has 360 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.
3 x 15 x 1 of Adam's stickers =
1 x 38 x 3 of Bryan's stickers + 33
35 of Adam's stickers =
324 of Bryan's stickers + 33
Let
124 of Bryan's stickers be 1 u.
Number of stickers that Bryan has = 24 u
24 u = 360
1 u = 360 ÷ 24 = 15
35 of Adam's stickers = 3 u + 33
15 of Adam's stickers = 1 u + 11
55 of Adam's stickers = 5 u + 55
Number of stickers that Adam has
= 5 u + 55
= 5 x 15 + 55
= 75 + 55
= 130
(b)
Number of stickers that Adam and Bryan have altogether
= 130 + 360
= 490
(c)
Number of stickers that Bryan has more than Adam
= 360 - 130
= 230
Answer(s): (a) 130; (b) 490; (c) 230
