Bryan and Adam have some stickers.
58 of Bryan's stickers is 40 more than
27 of Adam's stickers.
Adam has 280 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.
5 x 28 x 2 of Bryan's stickers =
2 x 57 x 5 of Adam's stickers + 40
1016 of Bryan's stickers =
1035 of Adam's stickers + 40
Let
135 of Adam's stickers be 1 u.
Number of stickers that Adam has = 35 u
35 u = 280
1 u = 280 ÷ 35 = 8
1016 of Bryan's stickers = 10 u + 40
116 of Bryan's stickers = 1 u + 4
1616 of Bryan's stickers = 16 u + 64
Number of stickers that Bryan has
= 16 u + 64
= 16 x 8 + 64
= 128 + 64
= 192
(b)
Number of stickers that Bryan and Adam have altogether
= 192 + 280
= 472
(c)
Number of stickers that Adam has more than Bryan
= 280 - 192
= 88
Answer(s): (a) 192; (b) 472; (c) 88
