Same pattern as Chocolates — all three end equal. New numbers, new story. Try each one on paper, then check the working below — or watch it drawn out, the same way the problem above is.

Question 1

Ravi, Suresh and Tara shared some marbles. Ravi had 1/7 of the total, Suresh had 40% as many as Tara, and Tara gave 82 marbles to the other two so that all three had equal amounts. Find the original total number of marbles.

Work it out on paper, then check below. ▶ See the working
