Tom get 8 Books more than Jane
Step-by-step explanation:
Let say Kent Bought 15B Books
Kent gave 1/3 of the books to Tom = 15B/3 = 5B
Kent gave 1/5 of the books to Jane = 15B/5 = 3B
Remaining Books = 15B - 5B - 3B = 7B
3/7 of the remainder to Mark 3/7 = (3/7)7B = 3B
Rest = 7B - 3B = 4B
4B = 16
=> B = 4
Tom got = 5B = 5 * 4 = 20
Jane Got = 3B = 3 * 4 = 12
20 - 12 = 8
Tom get 8 Books more than Jane
