Number of beads that Archie had before = 6 u
Number of beads that Archie gave to Harry = 1 u
Number of beads that Archie gave to Brandon = 2 u
Number of beads that Archie gave to Flynn = 1 u
Number of beads that Archie had left = 2 u
2 u = 22
1 u = 22 ÷ 2 = 11
Number of beads that Archie had at first
= 6 u
= 6 u x 11
= 66
