The ratio of Japheth's to Daniel's money is 5 : 6. The ratio of Daniel's to Wesley's money is 3 : 4. If Japheth has $60, how much more does Wesley have than Daniel?
| Japheth |
Daniel |
Wesley |
| 5x1 |
6x1 |
|
| |
3x2 |
4x2 |
| 5 u |
6 u |
8 u |
The amount that Daniel has is the repeated identity.
Use LCM to make it the same.
LCM of 6 and 3 = 6
Amount that Japheth has = 5 u
5 u = 60
1 u = 60 ÷ 5 = 12
Amount that Wesley has more than Daniel
= 8 u - 6 u
= 2 u
= 2 x 12
= $24
Answer(s): $24
