Liam, Vaidev and Peter had some balls. Vaidev had 40% less balls than Liam. Vaidev had
58 of Peter's. After Liam gave 102 balls to Vaidev, he had
14 of what Vaidev had. How many more balls did Peter have than Liam in the end?

Total balls of Liam and Vaidev |
Before |
24x1 = 24 u |
25x1 = 25 u |
15x1 = 15 u |
40x1 = 40 u |

After |
24 u |
1x8 = 8 u |
4x8 = 32 u |
5x8 = 40 u |
Number of balls that Vaidev had less than Liam at first in percent
= 100% - 40%
= 60%
60% =
60100 =
35 Liam : Vaidev = 5 : 3
The number of balls that Vaidev had at first is repeated. Make the number of balls that Vaidev had at first the same. LCM of 3 and 5 is 15.
When Liam gave 102 balls to Vaidev, the total number of balls that Vaidev and Liam had at first and in the end remains the same. Make the total number of balls that Vaidev and Liam had the same. LCM of 40 and 5 is 40.
Number of balls that Liam gave to Vaidev
= 25 u - 8 u
= 17 u
17 u = 102
1 u = 102 ÷ 17 = 6
Number of balls that Peter had more than Liam in the end
= 24 u - 8 u
= 16 u
= 16 x 6
= 96
Answer(s): 96
