3 0

Answer: 33

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of Adhy's to Ben's is 3:4 so let

Adhy = 3x

Ben = 4x

Since Ben = Adhy + 9

then 4x = 3x + 9

--> x = 9

So, Adhy = 3x = 3(9) = 27

Ben = 4x = 4(9) = 36

*************************************************************

The ratio of Ben's to Clayson's is 3:5

How do we get Ben's ratio of 3 equal to 36? by multiplying by 12

Ben : Clayson

3 x 12 5 x 12

36 60

So, Clayson = 60

***********************************************************

The difference between Adhy and Clayson is:

Clayson - Adhy

60 - 27 = 33
