Anna and Vaidev collect pencils and pens. Vaidev has 52 more pens than pencils. Vaidev has 3 times the number of pencils Anna has, and Anna has 25% more pens than Vaidev. After Anna gives Vaidev all of her pencils and Vaidev gives Anna 75% of his pens, Vaidev has 39 more pencils than pens. Find the number of pens Anna has at first.

100% + 25% = 125%
125% x 3 u
=
125100 x 3 u
= 3.75 u
125% x 52
=
125100 x 52
= 65
75% x 3 u
=
75100 x 3 u
= 2.25 u
75% x 52
=
75100 x 52
= 39
If another 39 pens are given to Vaidev, he will have equal number of pens and pencils in the end.
4 u = 0.75 u + 13 + 39
4 u - 0.75 u = 52
3.25 u = 52
1 u = 52 ÷ 3.25 = 16
Number of pens that Anna has at first
= 3.75 u + 65
= 3.75 x 16 + 65
= 60 + 65
= 125
Answer(s): 125
