Adam and Bryan have some stickers.
56 of Adam's stickers is 15 more than
14 of Bryan's stickers.
Bryan has 300 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 16 x 1 of Adam's stickers =
1 x 54 x 5 of Bryan's stickers + 15
56 of Adam's stickers =
520 of Bryan's stickers + 15
Let
120 of Bryan's stickers be 1 u.
Number of stickers that Bryan has = 20 u
20 u = 300
1 u = 300 ÷ 20 = 15
56 of Adam's stickers = 5 u + 15
16 of Adam's stickers = 1 u + 3
66 of Adam's stickers = 6 u + 18
Number of stickers that Adam has
= 6 u + 18
= 6 x 15 + 18
= 90 + 18
= 108
(b)
Number of stickers that Adam and Bryan have altogether
= 108 + 300
= 408
(c)
Number of stickers that Bryan has more than Adam
= 300 - 108
= 192
Answer(s): (a) 108; (b) 408; (c) 192
