Raeann has 4 times as many croissants as Nora. The total number of Raeann's and Nora's croissants is 8 times of Tina's. Raeann and Nora have 350 croissants more than Tina's. How many more croissants does Raeann have than Nora?
| Raeann |
Nora |
Tina |
| 4x8 |
1x8 |
|
| 8x5 |
1x5 |
| 32 u |
8 u |
5 u |
The total number of croissants that Raeann and Nora have is repeated. Make the total number of croissants that Raeann and Nora have the same. LCM of 5 and 8 is 40.
Total number of croissants that Raeann and Nora have
= 32 u + 8 u
= 40 u
Number of more croissants that Raeann and Nora have than Tina
= 40 u - 5 u
= 35 u
35 u = 350
1 u = 350 ÷ 35 = 10
Number of more croissants that Raeann has than Nora
= 32 u - 8 u
= 24 u
= 24 x 10
= 240
Answer(s): 240
