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