Shiyun, Winnie and Diana had a sum of money. The amount of money Shiyun had was
34 of the amount of money Winnie had. The ratio of the amount of money Winnie had to the total amount of money Diana and Winnie had was 3: 7. After Diana gave $80 to Winnie, she had as much money as Winnie. How much more money did Diana have than Shiyun in the end?
Shiyun |
Winnie |
Diana |
3x3 = 9 u |
4x3 = 12 u |
|
|
3x4 = 12 u |
4x4 = 16 u |
9 u |
12 u |
16 u |
The amount that Winnie had is the repeated identity. Make the amount that Winnie had the same. LCM of 4 and 3 is 12.

+ 80 |
- 80 |
After |
9 u |
12 u + 80 |
16 u - 80 |
The amount that Diana and Winnie had in the end is the same.
16 u - 80 = 12 u + 80
16 u - 12 u = 80 + 80
4 u = 160
1 u = 160 ÷ 4 = 40
Amount that Diana had more than Shiyun in the end
= 16 u - 80 - 9 u
= 7 u - 80
= 7 x 40 - 80
= 280 - 80
= $200
Answer(s): $200
