Bryan and Adam have some stickers.
45 of Bryan's stickers is 32 more than
18 of Adam's stickers.
Adam has 320 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.
4 x 15 x 1 of Bryan's stickers =
1 x 48 x 4 of Adam's stickers + 32
45 of Bryan's stickers =
432 of Adam's stickers + 32
Let
132 of Adam's stickers be 1 u.
Number of stickers that Adam has = 32 u
32 u = 320
1 u = 320 ÷ 32 = 10
45 of Bryan's stickers = 4 u + 32
15 of Bryan's stickers = 1 u + 8
55 of Bryan's stickers = 5 u + 40
Number of stickers that Bryan has
= 5 u + 40
= 5 x 10 + 40
= 50 + 40
= 90
(b)
Number of stickers that Bryan and Adam have altogether
= 90 + 320
= 410
(c)
Number of stickers that Adam has more than Bryan
= 320 - 90
= 230
Answer(s): (a) 90; (b) 410; (c) 230
