For every 5 cashews, there are 6 peanuts and 7 almonds.

Means:    Cashews:Peanuts:Almonds = 5:6:7

Sum of ratio = 5 + 6 +7 = 18

Cashews =    (5/18) * 270 = 75


Peanuts =    (6/18) * 270 = 90


Almonds =    (7/18) * 270 = 105

So how many more what are there than peanuts?

The number of that nuts Minus the number of peanuts.

= Number of that nuts  -  90
