Winnie had
45 as many candy canes as Luke. Luke had
35 as many candy canes as Rael. If Rael had 130 more candy canes than Winnie, find the total number of candy canes that was shared among these 3 children at first.
Winnie |
Luke |
Rael |
4x3 |
5x3 |
|
|
3x5 |
5x5 |
12 u |
15 u |
25 u |
Luke is the repeated identity.
LCM of 5 and 3 = 15
Number of more candy canes that Rael had more than Winnie
= 25 u - 12 u
= 13 u
13 u = 130
1 u = 130 ÷ 13 = 10
Total number of candy canes
= 12 u + 15 u + 25 u
= 52 u
= 52 x 10
= 520
Answer(s): 520
