Albert, David and Caden had some marbles. David had 80% more marbles than Albert. David had
27 of Caden's. After Albert gave 24 marbles to David, he had
13 of what David had. How many more marbles did Caden have than David in the end?

Total marbles of Albert and David |
Before |
63x1 = 63 u |
10x1 = 10 u |
18x1 = 18 u |
28x1 = 28 u |
Change |
|
- 24 |
+ 24 |
|
After |
63 u |
1x7 = 7 u |
3x7 = 21 u |
4x7 = 28 u |
Number of marbles that David had more than Albert at first in percent
= 100%+ 80%
= 180%
180% =
180100 =
95 Albert : David = 5 : 9
The number of marbles that David had at first is repeated. Make the number of marbles that David had at first the same. LCM of 9 and 2 is 18.
When Albert gave 24 marbles to David, the total number of marbles that David and Albert had at first and in the end remains the same. Make the total number of marbles that David and Albert had the same. LCM of 28 and 4 is 28.
Number of marbles that Albert gave to David
= 10 u - 7 u
= 3 u
3 u = 24
1 u = 24 ÷ 3 = 8
Number of marbles that Caden had more than David in the end
= 63 u - 21 u
= 42 u
= 42 x 8
= 336
Answer(s): 336
