(a)
Number of beads that Jaslyn won from Eva
=
25 x 80
= 32
Number of beads that Jaslyn lost to Kimberly
=
18 x 80
= 10
Number of beads that Jaslyn won from Eva
=
15 x 80
= 16
Number of beads that Jaslyn had in the end
= 80 + 32 - 10 + 16
= 118
(b)
Number of beads that Eva had at first
= 1 u + 16 + 10 + 32
= 118 + 16 + 10 + 32
= 176
Answer(s): (a) 118 ; (b) 176
