Bryan and Adam have some stickers.
58 of Bryan's stickers is 10 more than
16 of Adam's stickers.
Adam has 120 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 56 x 5 of Adam's stickers + 10
58 of Bryan's stickers =
530 of Adam's stickers + 10
Let
130 of Adam's stickers be 1 u.
Number of stickers that Adam has = 30 u
30 u = 120
1 u = 120 ÷ 30 = 4
58 of Bryan's stickers = 5 u + 10
18 of Bryan's stickers = 1 u + 2
88 of Bryan's stickers = 8 u + 16
Number of stickers that Bryan has
= 8 u + 16
= 8 x 4 + 16
= 32 + 16
= 48
(b)
Number of stickers that Bryan and Adam have altogether
= 48 + 120
= 168
(c)
Number of stickers that Adam has more than Bryan
= 120 - 48
= 72
Answer(s): (a) 48; (b) 168; (c) 72
