Victoria has 2 times as many wafers as Min. The total number of Victoria's and Min's wafers is 8 times of Hilda's. Victoria and Min have 168 wafers more than Hilda's. How many more wafers does Victoria have than Min?
| Victoria |
Min |
Hilda |
| 2x8 |
1x8 |
|
| 8x3 |
1x3 |
| 16 u |
8 u |
3 u |
The total number of wafers that Victoria and Min have is repeated. Make the total number of wafers that Victoria and Min have the same. LCM of 3 and 8 is 24.
Total number of wafers that Victoria and Min have
= 16 u + 8 u
= 24 u
Number of more wafers that Victoria and Min have than Hilda
= 24 u - 3 u
= 21 u
21 u = 168
1 u = 168 ÷ 21 = 8
Number of more wafers that Victoria has than Min
= 16 u - 8 u
= 8 u
= 8 x 8
= 64
Answer(s): 64
