If both have the same number at the end then each has (772/2) = 386
Let E be the number that Eugene started with and F what Frank started with
And F = 772 - E (1)
Eugene gives away (1/3) of his
And from Frank he gets (1/5) ( F + (1/3) E ] = (1/5) ( 772 -E + 1/3)E ) (2)
So at the end, what Eugene started with - what he gave away + what he got from Frank = 336
So
E - (1/3)E + (1/5) (772 - E + (1/3)E ] = 336
(2/3)E + 772/5 + (1/5)(-2/3)E = 336
(2/3)E - (2/15)E = 336 - 772/5
[ 8/15] E = 908 / 5
8E = 2724
E = 340.5 ?????
Are your numbers correct ??? (it's also possible that I made an error !!! )
