Question

A bin of soccer balls, basketballs, and volleyballs contains 112 balls. For every 3 soccer balls there are 5 basketballs and 6 volleyballs. How many more basketballs are there than soccer balls?​

Answer 1

`112 : ( 3 + 5 + 6)= 112 : 14 = 8`

basketballs = 8(5) = 40

soccer balls = 8(3) = 24

→ basketballs - soccer balls = 40 - 24 = 16
