Elijah, Henry and Clayton collected cards in the ratio of 7 : 8 : 4. After Clayton gave
45 to Elijah and Henry, Clayton had 390 less cards than Elijah. The number of cards that Henry had increased by 20%. How many cards did Elijah and Clayton have in the end?

Elijah |
Henry |
Clayton |
Before |
7 u |
8 u |
4 u |
Change |
+ 1.6 u |
+ 1.6 u |
- 3.2 u |
After |
8.6 u |
9.6 u |
0.8 u |
Number of cards that Clayton gave to Elijah and Henry
=
45 x 4 u
= 3.2 u
Number of cards that Henry received from Clayton
=
20100 x 8 u
= 1.6 u
Number of cards that Elijah received from Clayton
= 3.2 u - 1.6 u
= 1.6 u
Number of less cards that Clayton had less than Elijah
= 8.6 u - 0.8 u
= 7.8 u
7.8 u = 390
1 u = 390 ÷ 7.8 = 50
Number of cards that Elijah and Clayton had
= 8.6 u + 0.8 u
= 9.4 u
= 9.4 x 50
= 470
Answer(s): 470
