The remaining number of coupons before Warren bought another 95 coupons is repeated. Make the remaining number of coupons the same. LCM of 3 and 8 is 24.
Total number of coupons at first = 40 u
Total number of coupons in the end = 9 u + 95
Number of coupons left was 2 more than the number of coupons at first.
40 u + 2 = 9 u + 95
40 u - 9 u = 95 - 2
31 u = 93
1 u = 93 ÷ 31 = 3
Total number of coupons at first
= 40 u
= 40 x 3
= 120
Answer(s): 120
