Jaslyn and Jen collected beads. Jaslyn gave 30% of her beads to Jen and as a result, Jen's beads increased by 10%. If Jaslyn had 49 beads left, find the number of beads Jen should give to Jaslyn in the end so that both had an equal number of beads.

110The increase in the number of beads that Jen had is repeated. Make the increase in the number of beads that Jen had the same. LCM of 3 and 1 = 3
7 u = 49
1 u = 49 ÷ 7 = 7
Number of beads that Jen had more than Jaslyn in the end
= 33 u - 7 u
= 26 u
Number of beads that Jen should give to Jaslyn so that both had an equal number of beads in the end
= 26 u ÷ 2
= 13 u
= 13 x 7
= 91
Answer(s): 91
