Question

Elle, Jonah and Mandy shared some game cards in the ratio 2:3:7. Each of

them would have received 152 game cards each if the game cards were
distributed equally. How many more game cards did Mandy receive than Elle? Please do a step by step explanation.​

Answer 1

190 cards

Explanation:

Elle, Jonah and Mandy shared the game cards in the ratio 2 : 3 : 7. The total ratio is:

2 + 3 + 7 = 12

If they were shared equally, they would each receive 152 cards, this means that the total number of cards they received is:

152 * 3 = 456 cards

Elle's share is therefore:

2 / 12 * 456 = 76 cards

Mandy's share is:

7 / 12 * 456 = 266 cards

Therefore, the number of cards that Many received more than Elle is:

266 - 76 = 190 cards
