The ratio of the number of peas Julia had to the number of peas Vlada had was 3:2. After Julia gave Vlada 15 peas, she still had 10 more peas than Vlada. How many peas did Julia have at first?

J:V = 3:2

3:2 x 40 = 120:80

J: 120-15 = 105
V: 80+15 = 95

J:V is now 105:95

The original amount of peas that Julia had at first was 120.
