Yoko and Owen collect beads and coins. Owen has 80 less beads than coins. Owen has 5 times the number of beads Yoko has, and Yoko has 25% more coins than Owen. After Yoko gives Owen all of her beads and Owen gives Yoko 70% of his coins, Owen has 48 more beads than coins. Find the number of coins Yoko has at first.

6.25 u + 100 |
1 u |
5 u + 80 |
5 u |
+ 3.5 u + 56 |
- 1 u |
- 3.5 u - 56 |
+ 1 u |
9.75 u + 156 |
0 |
1.5 u + 24 |
6 u |
100%+ 25% = 125%
125% x 5 u
=
125100 x 5 u
= 6.25 u
125% x 80
=
125100 x 80
= 100
70% x 5 u
=
70100 x 5 u
= 3.5 u
70% x 80
=
70100 x 80
= 56
If another 48 coins are given to Owen, he will have equal number of coins and beads in the end.
6 u = 1.5 u + 24 + 48
6 u - 1.5 u = 72
4.5 u = 72
1 u = 72 ÷ 4.5 = 16
Number of coins that Yoko has at first
= 6.25 u + 100
= 6.25 x 16 + 100
= 100 + 100
= 200
Answer(s): 200
