Nick, Glen and Clifford collected beads in the ratio of 11 : 7 : 8. After Clifford gave ⁷₁₀ to Nick and Glen, Clifford had 535 less beads than Nick. The number of beads that Glen had increased by 50%. How many beads did Nick and Clifford have in the end?

	Nick	Glen	Clifford
Before	11 u	7 u	8 u
Change	+ 2.1 u	+ 3.5 u	- 5.6 u
After	13.1 u	10.5 u	2.4 u

Number of beads that Clifford gave to Nick and Glen
= ⁷₁₀ x 8 u
= 5.6 u

Number of beads that Glen received from Clifford
= ⁵⁰₁₀₀ x 7 u
= 3.5 u

Number of beads that Nick received from Clifford
= 5.6 u - 3.5 u
= 2.1 u

Number of less beads that Clifford had less than Nick
= 13.1 u - 2.4 u 
= 10.7 u

10.7 u = 535

1 u = 535 ÷ 10.7 = 50

Number of beads that Nick and Clifford had
= 13.1 u + 2.4 u
= 15.5 u
= 15.5 x 50
= 775

Answer(s): 775
