Nick, Gabriel and Chris collected stamps in the ratio of 11 : 6 : 10. After Chris gave
34 to Nick and Gabriel, Chris had 336 less stamps than Nick. The number of stamps that Gabriel had increased by 80%. How many stamps did Nick and Chris have in the end?
|
Nick |
Gabriel |
Chris |
Before |
11 u |
6 u |
10 u |
Change |
+ 2.7 u |
+ 4.8 u |
- 7.5 u |
After |
13.7 u |
10.8 u |
2.5 u |
Number of stamps that Chris gave to Nick and Gabriel
=
34 x 10 u
= 7.5 u
Number of stamps that Gabriel received from Chris
=
80100 x 6 u
= 4.8 u
Number of stamps that Nick received from Chris
= 7.5 u - 4.8 u
= 2.7 u
Number of less stamps that Chris had less than Nick
= 13.7 u - 2.5 u
= 11.2 u
11.2 u = 336
1 u = 336 ÷ 11.2 = 30
Number of stamps that Nick and Chris had
= 13.7 u + 2.5 u
= 16.2 u
= 16.2 x 30
= 486
Answer(s): 486
