Caden, Peter and Cole had some marbles. Peter had 60% more marbles than Caden. Peter had
47 of Cole's. After Caden gave 14 marbles to Peter, he had

Total marbles of Caden and Peter |
Before |
14x3 = 42 u |
5x3 = 15 u |
8x3 = 24 u |
13x3 = 39 u |
Change |
|
- 14 |
+ 14 |
|
After |
42 u |
1x13 = 13 u |
2x13 = 26 u |
3x13 = 39 u |
Number of marbles that Peter had more than Caden at first in percent
= 100%+ 60%
= 160%
160% =
160100 =
85 Caden : Peter = 5 : 8
The number of marbles that Peter had at first is repeated. Make the number of marbles that Peter had at first the same. LCM of 8 and 4 is 8.
When Caden gave 14 marbles to Peter, the total number of marbles that Peter and Caden had at first and in the end remains the same. Make the total number of marbles that Peter and Caden had the same. LCM of 13 and 3 is 39.
Number of marbles that Caden gave to Peter
= 15 u - 13 u
= 2 u
2 u = 14
1 u = 14 ÷ 2 = 7
Number of marbles that Cole had more than Peter in the end
= 42 u - 26 u
= 16 u
= 16 x 7
= 112
Answer(s): 112
