Shiyun and Victoria have some puffs each. If Shiyun gives Victoria 10 puffs, Shiyun will have
45 as many puffs as Victoria. If Shiyun gives Victoria 5 puffs, they will have an equal number of puffs. How many puffs does Shiyun have at first?

Case 1 |
Case 2 |
|
Shiyun |
Victoria |
Shiyun |
Victoria |
Before |
4 u + 10 |
5 u - 10 |
4.5 u + 5 |
4.5 u - 5 |
Change |
- 10 |
+ 10 |
- 5 |
+ 5 |
After |
4 u |
5 u |
4.5 u |
4.5 u |
Total number of puffs that Shiyun and Victoria have
= 4 u + 5 u
= 9 u
Number of puffs that Shiyun and Victoria each has in the end is the same.
Number of puffs that Shiyun and Victoria each has in the end in Case 2
= 9 u ÷ 2
= 4.5 u
Number of puffs that Shiyun had at first is the same in Case 1 and Case 2.
4.5 u + 5 = 4 u + 10
4.5 u - 4 u = 10 - 5
0.5 u = 5
1 u = 5 ÷ 0.5 = 10
Number of puffs that Shiyun has
= 4 u + 10
= 4 x 10 + 10
= 40 + 10
= 50
Answer(s): 50
