Hi, I learn from somewhere you can apply the following method:-

Multiple of 5
5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55
(+2)
7,12,17,22,27,32,37,42,47,52,57

Multiple of 7
7,14,21,28,35,42,49,56,63
(-3)
4,11,18,25,32,39,46,53,60

The answer is 32 cookies

Don had twice as much savings as Max and had thrice as much savings as Jon. If the three of them had a total savings of $154, how much more money did Don have than Jon?

Hi

I suggest you use MD

Don ---- 6 units
Max ---- 3 units
Jon ---- 2 units

11 units ---- 154
1 unit ---- 14

4 units ----- 56
