Diana, Zoe and Tina had a sum of money. The amount of money Diana had was
34 of the amount of money Zoe had. The ratio of the amount of money Zoe had to the total amount of money Tina and Zoe had was 2: 7. After Tina gave $96 to Zoe, she had as much money as Zoe. How much more money did Tina have than Diana in the end?
Diana |
Zoe |
Tina |
3x1 = 3 u |
4x1 = 4 u |
|
|
2x2 = 4 u |
5x2 = 10 u |
3 u |
4 u |
10 u |
The amount that Zoe had is the repeated identity. Make the amount that Zoe had the same. LCM of 4 and 2 is 4.

+ 96 |
- 96 |
After |
3 u |
4 u + 96 |
10 u - 96 |
The amount that Tina and Zoe had in the end is the same.
10 u - 96 = 4 u + 96
10 u - 4 u = 96 + 96
6 u = 192
1 u = 192 ÷ 6 = 32
Amount that Tina had more than Diana in the end
= 10 u - 96 - 3 u
= 7 u - 96
= 7 x 32 - 96
= 224 - 96
= $128
Answer(s): $128
