Abi and Fabian collect coins and pencils. Fabian has 80 less coins than pencils. Fabian has 2 times the number of coins Abi has, and Abi has 30% more pencils than Fabian. After Abi gives Fabian all of her coins and Fabian gives Abi 70% of his pencils, Fabian has 12 less pencils than coins. Find the number of pencils Abi has at first.

2.6 u + 104 |

0.6 u + 24 |
3 u |
100%+ 30% = 130%
130% x 2 u
=
130100 x 2 u
= 2.6 u
130% x 80
=
130100 x 80
= 104
70% x 2 u
=
70100 x 2 u
= 1.4 u
70% x 80
=
70100 x 80
= 56
If another 12 pencils are given to Fabian, he will have equal number of pencils and coins in the end.
3 u = 0.6 u + 24 + 12
3 u - 0.6 u = 36
2.4 u = 36
1 u = 36 ÷ 2.4 = 15
Number of pencils that Abi has at first
= 2.6 u + 104
= 2.6 x 15 + 104
= 39 + 104
= 143
Answer(s): 143
