Roshel and Gabriel collect buttons and cards. Gabriel has 95 more cards than buttons. Gabriel has 2 times the number of buttons Roshel has, and Roshel has 20% more cards than Gabriel. After Roshel gives Gabriel all of her buttons and Gabriel gives Roshel 60% of his cards, Gabriel has 6 more buttons than cards. Find the number of cards Roshel has at first.

2.4 u + 114 |
1 u |
2 u + 95 |
2 u |
+ 1.2 u + 57 |
- 1 u |
- 1.2 u - 57 |
+ 1 u |
3.6 u + 171 |
0 |
0.8 u + 38 |
3 u |
100% + 20% = 120%
120% x 2 u
=
120100 x 2 u
= 2.4 u
120% x 95
=
120100 x 95
= 114
60% x 2 u
=
60100 x 2 u
= 1.2 u
60% x 95
=
60100 x 95
= 57
If another 6 cards are given to Gabriel, he will have equal number of cards and buttons in the end.
3 u = 0.8 u + 38 + 6
3 u - 0.8 u = 44
2.2 u = 44
1 u = 44 ÷ 2.2 = 20
Number of cards that Roshel has at first
= 2.4 u + 114
= 2.4 x 20 + 114
= 48 + 114
= 162
Answer(s): 162
