Raeann and Peter collect pens and pencils. Peter has 55 more pencils than pens. Peter has 2 times the number of pens Raeann has, and Raeann has 20% more pencils than Peter. After Raeann gives Peter all of her pens and Peter gives Raeann 60% of his pencils, Peter has 11 more pens than pencils. Find the number of pencils Raeann has at first.

3 u |
100% + 20% = 120%
120% x 2 u
=
120100 x 2 u
= 2.4 u
120% x 55
=
120100 x 55
= 66
60% x 2 u
=
60100 x 2 u
= 1.2 u
60% x 55
=
60100 x 55
= 33
If another 11 pencils are given to Peter, he will have equal number of pencils and pens in the end.
3 u = 0.8 u + 22 + 11
3 u - 0.8 u = 33
2.2 u = 33
1 u = 33 ÷ 2.2 = 15
Number of pencils that Raeann has at first
= 2.4 u + 66
= 2.4 x 15 + 66
= 36 + 66
= 102
Answer(s): 102
