Jeremy had 60% fewer lollipops than John. After John gave 380 lollipops to Jeremy, Jeremy had ⁴₅ as many lollipops as John. How many lollipops did each of them have in the end?

1. John
2. Jeremy

	Jeremy	John	Total
Before	2x9 = 18 u	5x9 = 45 u	7x9 = 63 u
Change	+ 380	- 380
After	4x7 = 28 u	5x7 =  35 u	9x7 = 63 u

Number of lollipops that Jeremy had at first in percentage
= 100% - 60%
= 40%

40% = ⁴⁰₁₀₀ = ²₅

The total number of lollipops at first and in the end remains unchanged. Make the total number of lollipops the same. LCM of 9 and 7 is 63.

Number of lollipops that John gave to Jeremy
= 45 u - 35 u
= 10 u

10 u = 380

1 u = 380 ÷ 10 = 38

Number of lollipops that Jeremy had in the end
= 28 u
= 28 x 38
= 1064

Number of lollipops that John had in the end
= 35 u
= 35 x 38
= 1330

Answer(s): (a) 1064; (b) 1330
