Pierre, Flynn and Cyrus collected stamps in the ratio of 11 : 4 : 6. After Cyrus gave
15 to Pierre and Flynn, Cyrus had 330 less stamps than Pierre. The number of stamps that Flynn had increased by 20%. How many stamps did Pierre and Cyrus have in the end?
|
Pierre |
Flynn |
Cyrus |
Before |
11 u |
4 u |
6 u |
Change |
+ 0.4 u |
+ 0.8 u |
- 1.2 u |
After |
11.4 u |
4.8 u |
4.8 u |
Number of stamps that Cyrus gave to Pierre and Flynn
=
15 x 6 u
= 1.2 u
Number of stamps that Flynn received from Cyrus
=
20100 x 4 u
= 0.8 u
Number of stamps that Pierre received from Cyrus
= 1.2 u - 0.8 u
= 0.4 u
Number of less stamps that Cyrus had less than Pierre
= 11.4 u - 4.8 u
= 6.6 u
6.6 u = 330
1 u = 330 ÷ 6.6 = 50
Number of stamps that Pierre and Cyrus had
= 11.4 u + 4.8 u
= 16.2 u
= 16.2 x 50
= 810
Answer(s): 810
