Adam and Bryan have some stickers.
45 of Adam's stickers is 32 more than
13 of Bryan's stickers.
Bryan has 240 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 15 x 1 of Adam's stickers =
1 x 43 x 4 of Bryan's stickers + 32
45 of Adam's stickers =
412 of Bryan's stickers + 32
Let
112 of Bryan's stickers be 1 u.
Number of stickers that Bryan has = 12 u
12 u = 240
1 u = 240 ÷ 12 = 20
45 of Adam's stickers = 4 u + 32
15 of Adam's stickers = 1 u + 8
55 of Adam's stickers = 5 u + 40
Number of stickers that Adam has
= 5 u + 40
= 5 x 20 + 40
= 100 + 40
= 140
(b)
Number of stickers that Adam and Bryan have altogether
= 140 + 240
= 380
(c)
Number of stickers that Bryan has more than Adam
= 240 - 140
= 100
Answer(s): (a) 140; (b) 380; (c) 100
