Xuan and Dylan collect marbles and stickers. Dylan has 50 less marbles than stickers. Dylan has 5 times the number of marbles Xuan has, and Xuan has 30% more stickers than Dylan. After Xuan gives Dylan all of her marbles and Dylan gives Xuan 60% of his stickers, Dylan has 20 more marbles than stickers. Find the number of stickers Xuan has at first.

6.5 u + 65 |

5 u + 50 |
5 u |
+ 3 u + 30 |
- 1 u |
- 3 u - 30 |
+ 1 u |
9.5 u + 95 |

2 u + 20 |
6 u |
100%+ 30% = 130%
130% x 5 u
=
130100 x 5 u
= 6.5 u
130% x 50
=
130100 x 50
= 65
60% x 5 u
=
60100 x 5 u
= 3 u
60% x 50
=
60100 x 50
= 30
If another 20 stickers are given to Dylan, he will have equal number of stickers and marbles in the end.
6 u = 2 u + 20 + 20
6 u - 2 u = 40
4 u = 40
1 u = 40 ÷ 4 = 10
Number of stickers that Xuan has at first
= 6.5 u + 65
= 6.5 x 10 + 65
= 65 + 65
= 130
Answer(s): 130
