You can think of it as giving 660 first, then giving another 60.
After giving 660, it's just a role reversal. Box B now has 660 more than box A.
Then after giving the next 60, Box A reduced by 60 while Box B increased by 60.
60 + 60 = 120
The difference has now increased by 120.
120 + 660 = 780
So now Box B has 780 more than Box A.
5 times as much means 4 times more.
780 = 4 times or you can say 4 units
1 time/unit = 780 ÷ 4 = 195
Box A has 195 now.
Box A at first = 195 + 720 = 915
