Tiffany has 5 times as many tarts as Emily. The total number of Tiffany's and Emily's tarts is 5 times of Kimberly's. Tiffany and Emily have 120 tarts more than Kimberly's. How many less tarts does Kimberly have than Tiffany?
| Tiffany |
Emily |
Kimberly |
| 5x5 |
1x5 |
|
| 5x6 |
1x6 |
| 25 u |
5 u |
6 u |
The total number of tarts that Tiffany and Emily have is repeated. Make the total number of tarts that Tiffany and Emily have the same. LCM of 6 and 5 is 30.
Total number of tarts that Tiffany and Emily have
= 25 u + 5 u
= 30 u
Number of more tarts that Tiffany and Emily have than Kimberly
= 30 u - 6 u
= 24 u
24 u = 120
1 u = 120 ÷ 24 = 5
Number of less tarts that Kimberly has than Tiffany
= 25 u - 6 u
= 19 u
= 19 x 5
= 95
Answer(s): 95
