Luis and Jack had 350 marbles altogether. Luis gave away 25% as many marbles as Jack. Jack was left with 40 more than the number of marbles he gave away? Luis had 25% as many marbles as Jack in the end. How many marbles did Jack have in the end?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
L + J = 350
J gave away = X
L gave away = 1/4(X)
J had in the end = X + 40
L had ............... = 1/4(X + 40)
350 - (X + X/4) = (X + 40) + 1/4(X + 40)
X = 120
X + 40 = 160
Jack had 160 marbles
