58 the number of beads that Elijah had at first. After Elijah gave Flynn 44 of his beads, Flynn had
34 the number of beads that Elijah had. How many beads did Elijah have in the end?

Total |
| Before |
5x7 =
35 u |
8x7 =
56 u |
13x7 =
91 u |
| Change |
+ 4 u |
- 4 u |
|
| After |
3x13 =
39 u |
4x13 =
52 u |
7x13 =
91 u |
The total number of beads that Flynn and Elijah had at first and in the end remains unchanged. Make the total number of beads the same. LCM of 13 and 7 is 91.
Number of beads that Elijah gave Flynn
= 39 u - 35 u
= 4 u
4 u = 44
1 u = 44 ÷ 4 = 11
Number of beads that Elijah had in the end
= 52 u
= 52 x 11
= 572
Answer(s): 572
