The ratio of Caden's to Neave's money is 8 : 5. The ratio of Neave's to Zane's money is 3 : 5. If Caden has $384, how much less does Neave have than Zane?
| Caden |
Neave |
Zane |
| 8x3 |
5x3 |
|
| |
3x5 |
5x5 |
| 24 u |
15 u |
25 u |
The amount that Neave has is the repeated identity.
Use LCM to make it the same.
LCM of 5 and 3 = 15
Amount that Caden has = 24 u
24 u = 384
1 u = 384 ÷ 24 = 16
Amount that Neave has less than Zane
= 25 u - 15 u
= 10 u
= 10 x 16
= $160
Answer(s): $160
