Fabian, Caden and Ahmad had some beads. Caden had 40% more beads than Fabian. Caden had
37 of Ahmad's. After Fabian gave 66 beads to Caden, he had
13 of what Caden had. How many more beads did Ahmad have than Caden in the end?

Total beads of Fabian and Caden |
Before |
49x1 = 49 u |
15x1 = 15 u |
21x1 = 21 u |
36x1 = 36 u |

After |
49 u |
1x9 = 9 u |
3x9 = 27 u |
4x9 = 36 u |
Number of beads that Caden had more than Fabian at first in percent
= 100%+ 40%
= 140%
140% =
140100 =
75 Fabian : Caden = 5 : 7
The number of beads that Caden had at first is repeated. Make the number of beads that Caden had at first the same. LCM of 7 and 3 is 21.
When Fabian gave 66 beads to Caden, the total number of beads that Caden and Fabian had at first and in the end remains the same. Make the total number of beads that Caden and Fabian had the same. LCM of 36 and 4 is 36.
Number of beads that Fabian gave to Caden
= 15 u - 9 u
= 6 u
6 u = 66
1 u = 66 ÷ 6 = 11
Number of beads that Ahmad had more than Caden in the end
= 49 u - 27 u
= 22 u
= 22 x 11
= 242
Answer(s): 242
