Shiyun, Zoe and Abi had a sum of money. The amount of money Shiyun 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 Abi and Zoe had was 2: 5. After Abi gave $67 to Zoe, she had as much money as Zoe. How much more money did Abi have than Shiyun in the end?
Shiyun |
Zoe |
Abi |
3x1 = 3 u |
4x1 = 4 u |
|
|
2x2 = 4 u |
3x2 = 6 u |
3 u |
4 u |
6 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.

+ 67 |
- 67 |
After |
3 u |
4 u + 67 |
6 u - 67 |
The amount that Abi and Zoe had in the end is the same.
6 u - 67 = 4 u + 67
6 u - 4 u = 67 + 67
2 u = 134
1 u = 134 ÷ 2 = 67
Amount that Abi had more than Shiyun in the end
= 6 u - 67 - 3 u
= 3 u - 67
= 3 x 67 - 67
= 201 - 67
= $134
Answer(s): $134
