Tkz Yueh Mei & Izam for your help! May I know how to explain to the child why use total 12 units instead of 9 or 6 or 15 etc?

Total is unchanged
atFirst ratio 2:1 Total 3
End Ratio 1:3 Total 4
To make the total is the same we times the atFirst Ratio by 4
2:1 x 4---- 8:4---Total 12
We times the End Ratio by 3
3:1. x 3---- 9:3---Total 12
Since both AtFirst and End Total Ratio is 12 ..we compare the change

Peter ratio change from 8 to 3 and John from 4 to 9..
The change is 5u which is the movement of the 40 marbles..
Therefore 5u= 40 marbles..
The model drawn by Yueh Mei is self-explanotary...
I am just giving an alternative view of the model..

Hope the ans is correct !
'If' means if it happens but didn't happen. Questions want at first (marked 'o') since 'if' means didn't happen.
X be the amt of books bought initially. (10x + 25) / (x + 1) = 13. Hence x = 4 and hence total books bought = 5

Before
A:C:L -- 3:2:5-- 60:40:100
After ---A have 40% of the total(200u)---A have 80u
L gave 45%--45u to A+C...
After--L have 55u
A+C= 145u...therefore C have 145u-80u= 65 u
After Ratio
A:C:L--80:65:55
Diff of C-L= 726
65u-55u= 726
u= 72.6
Charlie had 40u at first..
40x72.6= 2904(answer)
