Bryan and Adam have some stickers.
37 of Bryan's stickers is 33 more than
14 of Adam's stickers.
Adam has 360 stickers.
- How many stickers does Bryan have?
- How many stickers do Bryan and Adam have altogether?
- How many stickers does Adam have more than Bryan?
(a)
Make the numerators the same.
3 x 17 x 1 of Bryan's stickers =
1 x 34 x 3 of Adam's stickers + 33
37 of Bryan's stickers =
312 of Adam's stickers + 33
Let
112 of Adam's stickers be 1 u.
Number of stickers that Adam has = 12 u
12 u = 360
1 u = 360 ÷ 12 = 30
37 of Bryan's stickers = 3 u + 33
17 of Bryan's stickers = 1 u + 11
77 of Bryan's stickers = 7 u + 77
Number of stickers that Bryan has
= 7 u + 77
= 7 x 30 + 77
= 210 + 77
= 287
(b)
Number of stickers that Bryan and Adam have altogether
= 287 + 360
= 647
(c)
Number of stickers that Adam has more than Bryan
= 360 - 287
= 73
Answer(s): (a) 287; (b) 647; (c) 73
