Explanation:

On Monday, Harry had 75 % as many toys as Teddy. On Tuesday, after Harry acquired 32 more toys and Teddy acquired 15 % more than he had on Monday, Harry had as many toys as Teddy. How many toys did Harry have on Monday? (Edited: Lazy post)

H = .75 T <====Given

H+32 = 1.15 T <====Given solve for H

Sustitute in the first equation for H

.75 T + 32 = 1.15 T

32 = .40 T

T = 80 Then from the first equation: H = .75 T = .75 * 80 = 60 toys
