In the land of Clinkets, the local Winkets and Flinkets earn their wealth in stars, crescents and nuggets. Every 5 stars equals the value of 1 crescent. Every 5 crescents is worth 1 nugget.
Chief Winket has 250 nuggets, 50 stars and 200 crescents.
His counterpart, Chief Flinket, has twice as many crescents, 3 times as many stars, but just 200 nuggets.
A new Blinket vehicle costs 483 nuggets.
How many more stars must each earn in order to have enough stars to buy a new Blinket vehicle?
Answer
