Adam and Bryan have some stickers.
57 of Adam's stickers is 50 more than
14 of Bryan's stickers.
Bryan has 360 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 17 x 1 of Adam's stickers =
1 x 54 x 5 of Bryan's stickers + 50
57 of Adam's stickers =
520 of Bryan's stickers + 50
Let
120 of Bryan's stickers be 1 u.
Number of stickers that Bryan has = 20 u
20 u = 360
1 u = 360 ÷ 20 = 18
57 of Adam's stickers = 5 u + 50
17 of Adam's stickers = 1 u + 10
77 of Adam's stickers = 7 u + 70
Number of stickers that Adam has
= 7 u + 70
= 7 x 18 + 70
= 126 + 70
= 196
(b)
Number of stickers that Adam and Bryan have altogether
= 196 + 360
= 556
(c)
Number of stickers that Bryan has more than Adam
= 360 - 196
= 164
Answer(s): (a) 196; (b) 556; (c) 164
