Answer:

441

Explanation:

Given

ratio of the number of counters that Amy is 5:6

let the no. of counter with Amy be 5x

and the no. of counter with Audrey be 6x

Amy gives 3/5 of her counters to Audrey.

3/5 of her counters to Audrey. = 3/5 * 5x = 3x

Thus,

amy gives 3x counters to audrey

No. of counters left with Amy = 5x-3x = 2x

given that Amy has 126 counters left

2x = 126

x = 126/2 = 63

Thus,

no. of counter with Amy now = 2x = 2*63 = 126

and now the no. of counter with Audrey = 6x+3x = 9*63 = 567

Difference of counter between Audrey and Amy = 567 - 126 = 441.

Thus, Audrey has 441 counter more than Any has.
