Adam and Bryan have some stickers.
58 of Adam's stickers is 30 more than
25 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 28 x 2 of Adam's stickers =
2 x 55 x 5 of Bryan's stickers + 30
1016 of Adam's stickers =
1025 of Bryan's stickers + 30
Let
125 of Bryan's stickers be 1 u.
Number of stickers that Bryan has = 25 u
25 u = 150
1 u = 150 ÷ 25 = 6
1016 of Adam's stickers = 10 u + 30
116 of Adam's stickers = 1 u + 3
1616 of Adam's stickers = 16 u + 48
Number of stickers that Adam has
= 16 u + 48
= 16 x 6 + 48
= 96 + 48
= 144
(b)
Number of stickers that Adam and Bryan have altogether
= 144 + 150
= 294
(c)
Number of stickers that Bryan has more than Adam
= 150 - 144
= 6
Answer(s): (a) 144; (b) 294; (c) 6
