Raeann and Justin collect beads and stickers. Justin has 70 less beads than stickers. Justin has 5 times the number of beads Raeann has, and Raeann has 30% more stickers than Justin. After Raeann gives Justin all of her beads and Justin gives Raeann 60% of his stickers, Justin has 12 less stickers than beads. Find the number of stickers Raeann has at first.

6.5 u + 91 |

- 3 u - 42 |

9.5 u + 133 |

2 u + 28 |
6 u |
100%+ 30% = 130%
130% x 5 u
=
130100 x 5 u
= 6.5 u
130% x 70
=
130100 x 70
= 91
60% x 5 u
=
60100 x 5 u
= 3 u
60% x 70
=
60100 x 70
= 42
If another 12 stickers are given to Justin, he will have equal number of stickers and beads in the end.
6 u = 2 u + 28 + 12
6 u - 2 u = 40
4 u = 40
1 u = 40 ÷ 4 = 10
Number of stickers that Raeann has at first
= 6.5 u + 91
= 6.5 x 10 + 91
= 65 + 91
= 156
Answer(s): 156
