7 u - 54 |
10 u |
Nicole had 93 more beads than Japheth in the end. So, if Japheth had another 93 beads, he would have the same number of beads as Nicole.
10 u = 7 u - 54 + 93
10 u - 7 u = 93 - 54
3 u = 39
1 u = 39 ÷ 3 = 13
Number of beads that Nicole had at first
= 10 u
= 10 x 13
= 130
Answer: 130
