Bryan and Adam have some stickers.
56 of Bryan's stickers is 25 more than
14 of Adam's stickers.
Adam has 400 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 16 x 1 of Bryan's stickers =
1 x 54 x 5 of Adam's stickers + 25
56 of Bryan's stickers =
520 of Adam's stickers + 25
Let
120 of Adam's stickers be 1 u.
Number of stickers that Adam has = 20 u
20 u = 400
1 u = 400 ÷ 20 = 20
56 of Bryan's stickers = 5 u + 25
16 of Bryan's stickers = 1 u + 5
66 of Bryan's stickers = 6 u + 30
Number of stickers that Bryan has
= 6 u + 30
= 6 x 20 + 30
= 120 + 30
= 150
(b)
Number of stickers that Bryan and Adam have altogether
= 150 + 400
= 550
(c)
Number of stickers that Adam has more than Bryan
= 400 - 150
= 250
Answer(s): (a) 150; (b) 550; (c) 250
