Bryan and Adam have some stickers.
58 of Bryan's stickers is 30 more than
15 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 18 x 1 of Bryan's stickers =
1 x 55 x 5 of Adam's stickers + 30
58 of Bryan's stickers =
525 of Adam's stickers + 30
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
58 of Bryan's stickers = 5 u + 30
18 of Bryan's stickers = 1 u + 6
88 of Bryan's stickers = 8 u + 48
Number of stickers that Bryan has
= 8 u + 48
= 8 x 14 + 48
= 112 + 48
= 160
(b)
Number of stickers that Bryan and Adam have altogether
= 160 + 350
= 510
(c)
Number of stickers that Adam has more than Bryan
= 350 - 160
= 190
Answer(s): (a) 160; (b) 510; (c) 190
