My question is: Ray has 175 cents in nickels. Ray gives 30 cents to Peter, and he gives twice as many cents to Randi as he gave to Peter. How many more nickels does Randi have than Peter? Your thoughts:
Ray gave 30 * 2 = 60 cents to Randi. Randi has 60 / 5 = 12 nickels. Peter has 30 / 5 = 6 nickels. Randi has 12 - 6 = 6 more nickels than Peter. The final answer: 6.
