Todd has 250% more video games than jaylon Todd has 56 video games he give jaylon 8 games how many games did they both have in the beginning

Todd originally had 64 games; Jaylon had eight.

Step-by-step explanation:

If Todd has 56 games now, after having given eight games to Jaylon, Todd must have started with 64 games.

Let x = Jaylon's original games.

If Todd has 250 % more games than Jaylon, he has 3.5 times as many games as Jaylon.

Let x = Jaylon's original number of games. Then

x + 8 = Jaylon's games now

∴ 56 = 3.5 (x+8)

Distribute the 3.5 56 = 3.5x + 28

Subtract 26 from each side 3.5x = 26

Divide each side by 3.5 x = 8

Jaylon originally had eight video games.

Check:

64 - 8 = 3.5 (8 + 8)

56 = 3.5 * 16

56 = 56
