Fanny, Winnie and Tina had a sum of money. The amount of money Fanny had was
25 of the amount of money Winnie had. The ratio of the amount of money Winnie had to the total amount of money Tina and Winnie had was 2: 5. After Tina gave $40 to Winnie, she had as much money as Winnie. How much more money did Tina have than Fanny in the end?
Fanny |
Winnie |
Tina |
2x2 = 4 u |
5x2 = 10 u |
|
|
2x5 = 10 u |
3x5 = 15 u |
4 u |
10 u |
15 u |
The amount that Winnie had is the repeated identity. Make the amount that Winnie had the same. LCM of 5 and 2 is 10.

+ 40 |
- 40 |
After |
4 u |
10 u + 40 |
15 u - 40 |
The amount that Tina and Winnie had in the end is the same.
15 u - 40 = 10 u + 40
15 u - 10 u = 40 + 40
5 u = 80
1 u = 80 ÷ 5 = 16
Amount that Tina had more than Fanny in the end
= 15 u - 40 - 4 u
= 11 u - 40
= 11 x 16 - 40
= 176 - 40
= $136
Answer(s): $136
