Mark had 60% fewer mini cupcakes than Jenson. After Jenson gave 196 mini cupcakes to Mark, Mark had ³₄ as many mini cupcakes as Jenson. How many mini cupcakes did each of them have in the end?

1. Jenson
2. Mark

	Mark	Jenson	Total
Before	2x7 = 14 u	5x7 = 35 u	7x7 = 49 u
Change	+ 196	- 196
After	3x7 = 21 u	4x7 =  28 u	7x7 = 49 u

Number of mini cupcakes that Mark had at first in percentage
= 100% - 60%
= 40%

40% = ⁴⁰₁₀₀ = ²₅

The total number of mini cupcakes at first and in the end remains unchanged. Make the total number of mini cupcakes the same. LCM of 7 and 7 is 49.

Number of mini cupcakes that Jenson gave to Mark
= 35 u - 28 u
= 7 u

7 u = 196

1 u = 196 ÷ 7 = 28

Number of mini cupcakes that Mark had in the end
= 21 u
= 21 x 28
= 588

Number of mini cupcakes that Jenson had in the end
= 28 u
= 28 x 28
= 784

Answer(s): (a) 588; (b) 784
