Will, Flynn and Clifford collected buttons in the ratio of 9 : 9 : 5. After Clifford gave ³₄ to Will and Flynn, Clifford had 185 less buttons than Will. The number of buttons that Flynn had increased by 25%. How many buttons did Will and Clifford have in the end?

	Will	Flynn	Clifford
Before	9 u	9 u	5 u
Change	+ 1.5 u	+ 2.25 u	- 3.75 u
After	10.5 u	11.25 u	1.25 u

Number of buttons that Clifford gave to Will and Flynn
= ³₄ x 5 u
= 3.75 u

Number of buttons that Flynn received from Clifford
= ²⁵₁₀₀ x 9 u
= 2.25 u

Number of buttons that Will received from Clifford
= 3.75 u - 2.25 u
= 1.5 u

Number of less buttons that Clifford had less than Will
= 10.5 u - 1.25 u 
= 9.25 u

9.25 u = 185

1 u = 185 ÷ 9.25 = 20

Number of buttons that Will and Clifford had
= 10.5 u + 1.25 u
= 11.75 u
= 11.75 x 20
= 235

Answer(s): 235
