Kai and Jordan had 300 marbles altogether. Kai gave away 25% fewer marbles than Jordan. Jordan was left with 50% as many as the number of marbles he gave away. Kai had 75% of the total number of marbles the boy left in the end. How many marbles did Kai have in the end?
+357 So Kai and Jordan had 300 marbles together.
Since Kai gave away 25% less marbles than Jordan, I'm guessing that Jordan gave away 75% of the total marbles.
Half of 300 is 150
Jordan has 150 marbles left
A quarter of 150 is 37
Kai gave away 37 marbles
150-37=113
I confused myself throughout this problem but I think this is correct.
Yay!
