Fanny and Flynn collect buttons and beads. Flynn has 40 less buttons than beads. Flynn has 4 times the number of buttons Fanny has, and Fanny has 40% more beads than Flynn. After Fanny gives Flynn all of her buttons and Flynn gives Fanny 75% of his beads, Flynn has 70 more buttons than beads. Find the number of beads Fanny has at first.

100%+ 40% = 140%
140% x 4 u
=
140100 x 4 u
= 5.6 u
140% x 40
=
140100 x 40
= 56
75% x 4 u
=
75100 x 4 u
= 3 u
75% x 40
=
75100 x 40
= 30
If another 70 beads are given to Flynn, he will have equal number of beads and buttons in the end.
5 u = 1 u + 10 + 70
5 u - 1 u = 80
4 u = 80
1 u = 80 ÷ 4 = 20
Number of beads that Fanny has at first
= 5.6 u + 56
= 5.6 x 20 + 56
= 112 + 56
= 168
Answer(s): 168
