Yoko and Luke collect pencils and coins. Luke has 80 more coins than pencils. Luke has 5 times the number of pencils Yoko has, and Yoko has 30% more coins than Luke. After Yoko gives Luke all of her pencils and Luke gives Yoko 60% of his coins, Luke has 24 more pencils than coins. Find the number of coins Yoko has at first.

6.5 u + 104 |
1 u |
5 u + 80 |
5 u |
+ 3 u + 48 |
- 1 u |
- 3 u - 48 |
+ 1 u |
9.5 u + 152 |
0 |
2 u + 32 |
6 u |
100% + 30% = 130%
130% x 5 u
=
130100 x 5 u
= 6.5 u
130% x 80
=
130100 x 80
= 104
60% x 5 u
=
60100 x 5 u
= 3 u
60% x 80
=
60100 x 80
= 48
If another 24 coins are given to Luke, he will have equal number of coins and pencils in the end.
6 u = 2 u + 32 + 24
6 u - 2 u = 56
4 u = 56
1 u = 56 ÷ 4 = 14
Number of coins that Yoko has at first
= 6.5 u + 104
= 6.5 x 14 + 104
= 91 + 104
= 195
Answer(s): 195
