Bryan and Adam have some stickers.
34 of Bryan's stickers is 24 more than
25 of Adam's stickers.
Adam has 330 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.
3 x 24 x 2 of Bryan's stickers =
2 x 35 x 3 of Adam's stickers + 24
68 of Bryan's stickers =
615 of Adam's stickers + 24
Let
115 of Adam's stickers be 1 u.
Number of stickers that Adam has = 15 u
15 u = 330
1 u = 330 ÷ 15 = 22
68 of Bryan's stickers = 6 u + 24
18 of Bryan's stickers = 1 u + 4
88 of Bryan's stickers = 8 u + 32
Number of stickers that Bryan has
= 8 u + 32
= 8 x 22 + 32
= 176 + 32
= 208
(b)
Number of stickers that Bryan and Adam have altogether
= 208 + 330
= 538
(c)
Number of stickers that Adam has more than Bryan
= 330 - 208
= 122
Answer(s): (a) 208; (b) 538; (c) 122
