Question 623714: John, Cindy, and Larry all participate in different sports after school. One day, John told Larry, “My sport is tougher than yours, because we had to run three times as many laps as you did yesterday.” Cindy overheard the conversation and told John, “Well, we ran 5 more laps than you did, so my sport must be the toughest.” If Larry had to run 3 laps in practice, how many laps did Cindy run?
