The total number of beads remains unchanged after Howard gives to Caden.
Total number of beads
= 193 + 427
= 620
Total number of beads in the end
= 1 u + 1 u + 126
= 2 u + 126
2 u + 126 = 620
2 u = 620 - 126
2 u = 494
1 u = 494 ÷ 2 = 247
Number of beads that Howard must give to Caden
= 247 - 193
= 54
Answer(s): 54
