Victoria had
58 as many caramel apples as Caden. Caden had
35 as many caramel apples as Jenson. If Jenson had 300 more caramel apples than Victoria, find the total number of caramel apples that was shared among these 3 children at first.

15 u |
24 u |
40 u |
Caden is the repeated identity.
LCM of 8 and 3 = 24
Number of more caramel apples that Jenson had more than Victoria
= 40 u - 15 u
= 25 u
25 u = 300
1 u = 300 ÷ 25 = 12
Total number of caramel apples
= 15 u + 24 u + 40 u
= 79 u
= 79 x 12
= 948
Answer(s): 948
