Harry and Glen had a total of 246 coins at first. After Harry bought 22 more coins and Glen gave away 16 coins, Harry now has the same number of coins as Glen. How many coins did Harry have at first?

Harry |
Glen |
Total |
Before |
1 u - 22 |
1 u + 16 |
246 |
Change |
+ 22 |
- 16 |
|
After |
1 u |
1 u |
252 |
Total number of coins in the end
= 246 + 22 - 16
= 252
2 u = 252
1 u = 252 ÷ 2 = 126
Number of coins that Harry had in the end
= 1 u
= 126
Number of coins that Harry had at first
= 126 - 22
= 104
Answer(s): 104
