Usha and Perry collect beads and coins. Perry has 40 less beads than coins. Perry has 5 times the number of beads Usha has, and Usha has 30% more coins than Perry. After Usha gives Perry all of her beads and Perry gives Usha 75% of his coins, Perry has 85 more beads than coins. Find the number of coins Usha has at first.

6.5 u + 52 |

- 3.75 u - 30 |
+ 1 u |
10.25 u + 82 |

1.25 u + 10 |
6 u |
100%+ 30% = 130%
130% x 5 u
=
130100 x 5 u
= 6.5 u
130% x 40
=
130100 x 40
= 52
75% x 5 u
=
75100 x 5 u
= 3.75 u
75% x 40
=
75100 x 40
= 30
If another 85 coins are given to Perry, he will have equal number of coins and beads in the end.
6 u = 1.25 u + 10 + 85
6 u - 1.25 u = 95
4.75 u = 95
1 u = 95 ÷ 4.75 = 20
Number of coins that Usha has at first
= 6.5 u + 52
= 6.5 x 20 + 52
= 130 + 52
= 182
Answer(s): 182
