    The question is:
    The ratio of Maggie's stamps to the total number of stamps Paul, Steve and Joel had was 1:5. Paul had 1/4 of the total Maggie,Steve and Joel had. The ratio of Steve's stamps to the totsl stamps Paul and Joel had was 1:4. Joel had 675 more stamps than Steve.
    (a) Find the ratio of Steve's stamps to Paul's stamps
    (b) How many stamps did Maggie have?

  3. 2. The answer!!

    Maggie : Paul + Steve + Joel
    1 : 5
    1 x 5 : 5 x 5
    5 : 25 = 30 units

    Paul : Maggie + Steve + Joel
    1 : 4
    1 x 6 : 4 x 6
    6 : 24 = 30 units

    Note that the total number of stamps was the same.

    Steve : Paul + + Joel
    1 : 4
    1 x 5 : 4 x 5
    5 : 20

    Maggie = 5 units
    Paul = 6 units
    Steve = 5 units
    Joel = 25 – 6 – 5
    = 14 units

    a) Steve : Paul = 5 : 6
    The ratio of Steve’s stamps to Paul’s stamps was 5 : 6.

    b) Joel – Steve = 14 -5
    = 9 units
    9 units = 675 stamps
    5 units = 675 x 5
    9
    = 375 stamps
    Maggie had 375 stamps.
