Kathy and Cindy collected beads. Kathy gave 30% of her beads to Cindy and as a result, Cindy's beads increased by 10%. If Kathy had 28 beads left, find the number of beads Cindy should give to Kathy in the end so that both had an equal number of beads.

Change

- 3x1 =
- 3 u

+ 3x1 =
+ 3 u

+ 1x3 =
+ 3 u

11x3 =

110The increase in the number of beads that Cindy had is repeated. Make the increase in the number of beads that Cindy had the same. LCM of 3 and 1 = 3
7 u = 28
1 u = 28 ÷ 7 = 4
Number of beads that Cindy had more than Kathy in the end
= 33 u - 7 u
= 26 u
Number of beads that Cindy should give to Kathy so that both had an equal number of beads in the end
= 26 u ÷ 2
= 13 u
= 13 x 4
= 52
Answer(s): 52
