Number of balls that Bobby had at first in percent
= 100% + 50%
= 150%
Number of balls that Bobby gave to Albert in percent
= 20% x 150%
=
20100 x 150%
= 30%
Number of balls that Albert gave to Bobby in percent
= 50% x 130%
=
50100 x 130%
= 65%
Number of less balls that Albert had than Bobby in the end
= 185% - 65%
= 120%
120% → 1080
1% → 1080 ÷ 120 = 9
Number of balls that Albert had in the end
= 65%
= 65 x 9
= 1350
Answer(s): 1350
