Roshel and Paul collect stickers and cards. Paul has 45 less stickers than cards. Paul has 4 times the number of stickers Roshel has, and Roshel has 40% more cards than Paul. After Roshel gives Paul all of her stickers and Paul gives Roshel 60% of his cards, Paul has 50 less cards than stickers. Find the number of cards Roshel has at first.

5.6 u + 63 |
1 u |
4 u + 45 |
4 u |
+ 2.4 u + 27 |
- 1 u |
- 2.4 u - 27 |
+ 1 u |
8 u + 90 |
0 |
1.6 u + 18 |
5 u |
100%+ 40% = 140%
140% x 4 u
=
140100 x 4 u
= 5.6 u
140% x 45
=
140100 x 45
= 63
60% x 4 u
=
60100 x 4 u
= 2.4 u
60% x 45
=
60100 x 45
= 27
If another 50 cards are given to Paul, he will have equal number of cards and stickers in the end.
5 u = 1.6 u + 18 + 50
5 u - 1.6 u = 68
3.4 u = 68
1 u = 68 ÷ 3.4 = 20
Number of cards that Roshel has at first
= 5.6 u + 63
= 5.6 x 20 + 63
= 112 + 63
= 175
Answer(s): 175
