The ratio of Luis's to Flynn's money is 4 : 3. The ratio of Flynn's to Gabriel's money is 3 : 5. If Luis has $44, how much less does Flynn have than Gabriel?
| Luis |
Flynn |
Gabriel |
| 4x1 |
3x1 |
|
| |
3x1 |
5x1 |
| 4 u |
3 u |
5 u |
The amount that Flynn has is the repeated identity.
Use LCM to make it the same.
LCM of 3 and 3 = 3
Amount that Luis has = 4 u
4 u = 44
1 u = 44 ÷ 4 = 11
Amount that Flynn has less than Gabriel
= 5 u - 3 u
= 2 u
= 2 x 11
= $22
Answer(s): $22
