6.25 u + 90 |

- 1 u |
- 3.75 u - 54 |
+ 1 u |
10 u + 144 |

1.25 u + 18 |
6 u |
100% + 25% = 125%
125% x 5 u
=
125100 x 5 u
= 6.25 u
125% x 72
=
125100 x 72
= 90
75% x 5 u
=
75100 x 5 u
= 3.75 u
75% x 72
=
75100 x 72
= 54
If another 77 coins are given to Will, he will have equal number of coins and cards in the end.
6 u = 1.25 u + 18 + 77
6 u - 1.25 u = 95
4.75 u = 95
1 u = 95 ÷ 4.75 = 20
Number of coins that Anna has at first
= 6.25 u + 90
= 6.25 x 20 + 90
= 125 + 90
= 215
Answer(s): 215
