Adam and Bryan have some stickers.
58 of Adam's stickers is 15 more than
16 of Bryan's stickers.
Bryan has 150 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 18 x 1 of Adam's stickers =
1 x 56 x 5 of Bryan's stickers + 15
58 of Adam's stickers =
530 of Bryan's stickers + 15
Let
130 of Bryan's stickers be 1 u.
Number of stickers that Bryan has = 30 u
30 u = 150
1 u = 150 ÷ 30 = 5
58 of Adam's stickers = 5 u + 15
18 of Adam's stickers = 1 u + 3
88 of Adam's stickers = 8 u + 24
Number of stickers that Adam has
= 8 u + 24
= 8 x 5 + 24
= 40 + 24
= 64
(b)
Number of stickers that Adam and Bryan have altogether
= 64 + 150
= 214
(c)
Number of stickers that Bryan has more than Adam
= 150 - 64
= 86
Answer(s): (a) 64; (b) 214; (c) 86
