Bryan and Adam have some stickers.
56 of Bryan's stickers is 45 more than
35 of Adam's stickers.
Adam has 350 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 36 x 3 of Bryan's stickers =
3 x 55 x 5 of Adam's stickers + 45
1518 of Bryan's stickers =
1525 of Adam's stickers + 45
Let
125 of Adam's stickers be 1 u.
Number of stickers that Adam has = 25 u
25 u = 350
1 u = 350 ÷ 25 = 14
1518 of Bryan's stickers = 15 u + 45
118 of Bryan's stickers = 1 u + 3
1818 of Bryan's stickers = 18 u + 54
Number of stickers that Bryan has
= 18 u + 54
= 18 x 14 + 54
= 252 + 54
= 306
(b)
Number of stickers that Bryan and Adam have altogether
= 306 + 350
= 656
(c)
Number of stickers that Adam has more than Bryan
= 350 - 306
= 44
Answer(s): (a) 306; (b) 656; (c) 44
