Gabriel, Dylan and Chen collected buttons in the ratio of 7 : 10 : 4. After Chen gave
45 to Gabriel and Dylan, Chen had 207 less buttons than Gabriel. The number of buttons that Dylan had increased by 25%. How many buttons did Gabriel and Chen have in the end?
|
Gabriel |
Dylan |
Chen |
Before |
7 u |
10 u |
4 u |
Change |
+ 0.7 u |
+ 2.5 u |
- 3.2 u |
After |
7.7 u |
12.5 u |
0.8 u |
Number of buttons that Chen gave to Gabriel and Dylan
=
45 x 4 u
= 3.2 u
Number of buttons that Dylan received from Chen
=
25100 x 10 u
= 2.5 u
Number of buttons that Gabriel received from Chen
= 3.2 u - 2.5 u
= 0.7 u
Number of less buttons that Chen had less than Gabriel
= 7.7 u - 0.8 u
= 6.9 u
6.9 u = 207
1 u = 207 ÷ 6.9 = 30
Number of buttons that Gabriel and Chen had
= 7.7 u + 0.8 u
= 8.5 u
= 8.5 x 30
= 255
Answer(s): 255
