5B + 4J = 530 ①
Ben lost 4/5 of his cards and Jerry lost ¼ of his cards.
That's 4B and 1J.
Total cards lost = 530 - 370
= 160
So 4B + 1J = 160
Multiply this by 4,
4 x (4B + 1J) = 4 x 160
16B + 4J = 640 ②
Compare this to ①,
Difference = 16B - 5B = 11B
Difference also = 640 - 530 = 110
So 11B = 110
1B = 110 ÷ 11
1B = 10
Ben's cards at first
= 5B
= 5 x 10
= 50
At first :
Ben ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛
Jerry☆☆☆☆
Total = 5⬛ + 4☆ = 530
Cards lost :
Ben ⬛⬛⬛⬛
Jerry ☆
530 - 370 = 160 = 4⬛ + 1☆
If 4⬛ + 1☆ = 160,
Then
⬛⬛⬛⬛ ☆ ⬛⬛⬛⬛ ☆⬛⬛⬛⬛ ☆ ⬛⬛⬛⬛ ☆
= 16⬛ + 4☆
= 160 x 4
= 640
640 - 530 = 110
= 16⬛ + 4☆ - 5⬛ - 4☆
= 11⬛
1⬛ = 110 ÷ 10
= 10
Ben's at first
= 5⬛
= 5 x 10
= 50
