Adam and Bryan have some stickers.
56 of Adam's stickers is 15 more than
13 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.
5 x 16 x 1 of Adam's stickers =
1 x 53 x 5 of Bryan's stickers + 15
56 of Adam's stickers =
515 of Bryan's stickers + 15
Let
115 of Bryan's stickers be 1 u.
Number of stickers that Bryan has = 15 u
15 u = 360
1 u = 360 ÷ 15 = 24
56 of Adam's stickers = 5 u + 15
16 of Adam's stickers = 1 u + 3
66 of Adam's stickers = 6 u + 18
Number of stickers that Adam has
= 6 u + 18
= 6 x 24 + 18
= 144 + 18
= 162
(b)
Number of stickers that Adam and Bryan have altogether
= 162 + 360
= 522
(c)
Number of stickers that Bryan has more than Adam
= 360 - 162
= 198
Answer(s): (a) 162; (b) 522; (c) 198
