Pamela and Daniel collect beads and coins. Daniel has 50 less beads than coins. Daniel has 5 times the number of beads Pamela has, and Pamela has 30% more coins than Daniel. After Pamela gives Daniel all of her beads and Daniel gives Pamela 60% of his coins, Daniel has 12 less coins than beads. Find the number of coins Pamela has at first.
Pamela |

Beads |
6.5 u + 65 |
1 u |
5 u + 50 |
5 u |
+ 3 u + 30 |
- 1 u |
- 3 u - 30 |
+ 1 u |
9.5 u + 95 |
0 |
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 12 coins are given to Daniel, he will have equal number of coins and beads in the end.
6 u = 2 u + 20 + 12
6 u - 2 u = 32
4 u = 32
1 u = 32 ÷ 4 = 8
Number of coins that Pamela has at first
= 6.5 u + 65
= 6.5 x 8 + 65
= 52 + 65
= 117
Answer(s): 117
