Stanley and Terence had a sum of money in the ratio 1:5. Terence and Vincent had a sum of money in the ratio 3:2. They had a total of $560 altogether. How much more money did Vincent have than Stanley?

Answer 1

Stanley : Trerence = 1 : 5 = x : 5x = 3x : 15x
Terence : vincent = 3 : 2 = 3x : 2x = 15x : 10x
(I wanted the ratio term for Terrence to be the same)

Stan: Ter:Vin = 3x : 15x : 10x

28x = 560
x = 20

So Stan had 60, Ter had 300 and Vin had 200
(notice all conditions are met correctly)
