                The total number of pears eaten by Pete and two of his friends, Tweet and Honk, (during this visit to the pear tree) were in the ratio of 2 : 3 : 5 respectively. If Pete ate 12 less pears than Honk, how many pears did Tweet eat during this time?

    pears eaten by
Pete --- 2x
Tweet -- 3x
Honk ---5x
Honk - Pete = 12
5x - 2x = 12
x = 4
so Pete ate 8
Tweet ate 12
and Honk ate 20
