Given
Anderson : Benjamin : Caleb
3 : 1 : 3/2= 1.5 multiply by 2 for all ratio gives
6 : 2 : 3
Total 6+2+3=11
Difference in Anderson and Caleb is 6-3 =3
Given total 99 sweets,
99 * 3/11= 27
Anderson has 27 more sweets than Caleb
A has 3 times as much as B and 2 times as much as C. It suggests that A’s amount is a multiple of 3 and 2. So let’s use 6u as the number of sweets A has. Then
A: 6u
B: 2u
C: 3u
So total of 11u = 99. Thus u = 9. Anderson has 3u = 3 x 9 = 27 more than Caleb.
