Number of marbles that Brandon had before = 10 u
Number of marbles that Brandon gave to Harry = 1 u
Number of marbles that Brandon gave to Vaidev = 1 u
Number of marbles that Brandon gave to Valen = 1 u
Number of marbles that Brandon had left = 7 u
7 u = 35
1 u = 35 ÷ 7 = 5
Number of marbles that Brandon had at first
= 10 u
= 10 u x 5
= 50
