1/3 of Milo's money was 4/5 of Alan's money. If Milo gave $18 to Alan and he returned $4 to him a few days later, then both of them would have an equal amount of money left. How much did Milo have at first?

 Lets Assume Milo have at first 

 X

 Money and Alan have at First Y money

 

1/3 X = 4/5Y

So Y = 5/12X

 


 

X-18 +4 = Y +18 -4

X-14 = Y + 14

Now we will input Y Value in the equation

X- 14 = 5/12X + 14

7/12X =28

X = 28*12/7

X = 336/7

X = 48
