Bryan and Adam have some stickers.
56 of Bryan's stickers is 20 more than
13 of Adam's stickers.
Adam has 240 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 53 x 5 of Adam's stickers + 20
56 of Bryan's stickers =
515 of Adam's stickers + 20
Let
115 of Adam's stickers be 1 u.
Number of stickers that Adam has = 15 u
15 u = 240
1 u = 240 ÷ 15 = 16
56 of Bryan's stickers = 5 u + 20
16 of Bryan's stickers = 1 u + 4
66 of Bryan's stickers = 6 u + 24
Number of stickers that Bryan has
= 6 u + 24
= 6 x 16 + 24
= 96 + 24
= 120
(b)
Number of stickers that Bryan and Adam have altogether
= 120 + 240
= 360
(c)
Number of stickers that Adam has more than Bryan
= 240 - 120
= 120
Answer(s): (a) 120; (b) 360; (c) 120
