Bag U contained 200 cards and 75% of them were gold cards. How many green cards and gold cards in total must be moved from Bag T to Bag U such that 20% of the cards in Bag T are green and 50% of the cards in Bag U are gold?

Number of gold cards in Bag T at first
= 30% x 190
=
30100 x 190
= 57
Number of green cards in Bag T at first
= 190 - 57
= 133
Number of gold cards in Bag U at first
= 75% x 200
=
75100 x 200
= 150
Number of green cards in Bag U at first
= 200 - 150
= 50
Bag T in the end20% =
20100 =
15 Gold cards : Green cards = 4 : 1
Bag U in the end50% =
50100 =
12Gold cards : Green cards = 1 : 1
Total number of gold cards = 4 u + 1 p
4 u + 1 p = 57 + 150
4 u + 1 p = 207
1 p = 207 - 4 u --- (1)
Total number of green cards = 1 u + 1 p
1 u + 1 p = 133 + 50
1 u + 1 p = 183
1 p = 183 - 1 u --- (2)
(2) = (1)
183 - 1 u = 207 - 4 u
4 u - 1 u = 207 - 183
3 u = 24
1 u = 24 ÷ 3 = 8
Total number of green cards and gold cards that must be moved from Bag T to Bag U
= 190 - 5 u
= 190 - 5 x 8
= 190 - 40
= 150
Answer(s): 150
