Adam and Bryan have some stickers.
58 of Adam's stickers is 50 more than
25 of Bryan's stickers.
Bryan has 350 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 55 x 5 of Bryan's stickers + 50
1016 of Adam's stickers =
1025 of Bryan's stickers + 50
Let
125 of Bryan's stickers be 1 u.
Number of stickers that Bryan has = 25 u
25 u = 350
1 u = 350 ÷ 25 = 14
1016 of Adam's stickers = 10 u + 50
116 of Adam's stickers = 1 u + 5
1616 of Adam's stickers = 16 u + 80
Number of stickers that Adam has
= 16 u + 80
= 16 x 14 + 80
= 224 + 80
= 304
(b)
Number of stickers that Adam and Bryan have altogether
= 304 + 350
= 654
(c)
Number of stickers that Bryan has more than Adam
= 350 - 304
= 46
Answer(s): (a) 304; (b) 654; (c) 46
