How to Solve Ratio Problems?

John, Mike and Tom shared a box of stamps in the ratio of 6:7:11.

This means that, the fraction of the whole each have are respectively;

John's Fraction = 6/(6 + 7 + 11) = 6/24

Mikes Fraction = 7/24

Tom's Fraction = 11/24

If the total number of stamps is x, and Tom had 532 more stamps than mike, then it means that;

11x/24 = 7x/24 + 532

11x/24 - 7x/24 = 532

x/6 = 532

x = 3192

Thus;

John has; (6/24) * 3192 = 798 Stamps
