Vaidev, Glen and Xavier had some balls. Glen had 80% less balls than Vaidev. Glen had
38 of Xavier's. After Vaidev gave 120 balls to Glen, he had
15 of what Glen had. How many more balls did Xavier have than Vaidev in the end?

Total balls of Vaidev and Glen |
Before |
8x1 = 8 u |
15x1 = 15 u |
3x1 = 3 u |
18x1 = 18 u |

After |
8 u |
1x3 = 3 u |
5x3 = 15 u |
6x3 = 18 u |
Number of balls that Glen had less than Vaidev at first in percent
= 100% - 80%
= 20%
20% =
20100 =
15 Vaidev : Glen = 5 : 1
The number of balls that Glen had at first is repeated. Make the number of balls that Glen had at first the same. LCM of 1 and 3 is 3.
When Vaidev gave 120 balls to Glen, the total number of balls that Glen and Vaidev had at first and in the end remains the same. Make the total number of balls that Glen and Vaidev had the same. LCM of 18 and 6 is 18.
Number of balls that Vaidev gave to Glen
= 15 u - 3 u
= 12 u
12 u = 120
1 u = 120 ÷ 12 = 10
Number of balls that Xavier had more than Vaidev in the end
= 8 u - 3 u
= 5 u
= 5 x 10
= 50
Answer(s): 50
