Winnie and Tim collect stickers and marbles. Tim has 80 less stickers than marbles. Tim has 5 times the number of stickers Winnie has, and Winnie has 25% more marbles than Tim. After Winnie gives Tim all of her stickers and Tim gives Winnie 70% of his marbles, Tim has 66 less marbles than stickers. Find the number of marbles Winnie has at first.

1.5 u + 24 |

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 66 marbles are given to Tim, he will have equal number of marbles and stickers in the end.
6 u = 1.5 u + 24 + 66
6 u - 1.5 u = 90
4.5 u = 90
1 u = 90 ÷ 4.5 = 20
Number of marbles that Winnie has at first
= 6.25 u + 100
= 6.25 x 20 + 100
= 125 + 100
= 225
Answer(s): 225
