Vaidev and Min share some marbles.
35 of Vaidev's marbles is equal to
313 of Min's marbles. Given that Vaidev has 24 marbles less than Min, how many marbles do they have altogether?
35 of Vaidev's marbles = 313 of Min's marbles
Number of Vaidev's marbles = 5 u
Number of Min's marbles = 13 u
Number of marbles that Vaidev has less than Min
= 13 u - 5 u
= 8 u
8 u = 24
1 u = 24 ÷ 8 = 3
Total number of marbles
= 5 u + 13 u
= 18 u
= 18 x 3
= 54
Answer(s): 54
