PLEASE HELP!

Martha and Emily had to sew dresses with beads. Emily had 20% more beads than Martha. Then Emily gave 25% of her beads to Martha. Now Martha has 80 beads more than Emily. How many beads did each dressmaker had at the start?​​

Answer:

Emily has about 73 beads and Martha has about 62

Step-by-step explanation:

E = M · 1.2

M + ( .25 · E ) = m

m = 80

Now work backwards to find the answer.

Note that to find the answer you must get rid of the variable E, so you must use the expression M · 1.2 to represent E.

M + ( .25 · M · 1.2 ) = 80

M + .3M = 80

1.3M = 80

Divide both sides by 1.3

M = 61.5

Round to the nearest one

M = 62

Now use this to find E

E = 62 · 1.2

E = 74.4

Round to nearest one

E = 73

This might be confusing but I hope it was helpful!

Also, can I get brainliest because this took a lot of work to figure out.
