Janet has 60 less than four times as many siblings as Masud. Carlos has 3/4 times as many siblings as Masud. If Masud has 60 siblings, how many more siblings does Janet have more than Carlos?
Thoughts? Step-by-step reasoning:
If Masud has 60 siblings, and Carlos has 3 / 4 times as many siblings as Masud, Carlos has 3 / 4 * 60 = 45 siblings. Four times as many siblings as Masud has is 4 * 60 = 240. Janet has 60 less than four times as many siblings as Masud, a total of 240 - 60 = 180 siblings. The number of siblings Janet have more than Carlos is 180 - 45 = 135.
Thus, the answer is 135.
