Bryan and Adam have some stickers.
45 of Bryan's stickers is 48 more than
13 of Adam's stickers.
Adam has 300 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.
4 x 15 x 1 of Bryan's stickers =
1 x 43 x 4 of Adam's stickers + 48
45 of Bryan's stickers =
412 of Adam's stickers + 48
Let
112 of Adam's stickers be 1 u.
Number of stickers that Adam has = 12 u
12 u = 300
1 u = 300 ÷ 12 = 25
45 of Bryan's stickers = 4 u + 48
15 of Bryan's stickers = 1 u + 12
55 of Bryan's stickers = 5 u + 60
Number of stickers that Bryan has
= 5 u + 60
= 5 x 25 + 60
= 125 + 60
= 185
(b)
Number of stickers that Bryan and Adam have altogether
= 185 + 300
= 485
(c)
Number of stickers that Adam has more than Bryan
= 300 - 185
= 115
Answer(s): (a) 185; (b) 485; (c) 115
