Bag E contained 495 cards and 60% of them were silver cards.

Number of silver cards in Bag D at first
= 30% x 180
=
30100 x 180
= 54
Number of white cards in Bag D at first
= 180 - 54
= 126
Number of silver cards in Bag E at first
= 60% x 495
=
60100 x 495
= 297
Number of white cards in Bag E at first
= 495 - 297
= 198
Bag D in the end20% =
20100 =
15 Silver cards : White cards = 4 : 1
Bag E in the end50% =
50100 =
12Silver cards : White cards = 1 : 1
Total number of silver cards = 4 u + 1 p
4 u + 1 p = 54 + 297
4 u + 1 p = 351
1 p = 351 - 4 u --- (1)
Total number of white cards = 1 u + 1 p
1 u + 1 p = 126 + 198
1 u + 1 p = 324
1 p = 324 - 1 u --- (2)
(2) = (1)
324 - 1 u = 351 - 4 u
4 u - 1 u = 351 - 324
3 u = 27
1 u = 27 ÷ 3 = 9
Total number of white cards and silver cards that must be moved from Bag D to Bag E
= 180 - 5 u
= 180 - 5 x 9
= 180 - 45
= 135
Answer(s): 135
