Let the amount Elena has = $100
Bonnie has $60 less than Elena = x-60
After Elena gives out 20%
Elena = 80/100 x
Bonnie = x-60 + 20/100 x
The amount Bonnie has in a fourth less than what Elena has, meaning it is 75% of what Elena has
x - 60 + 20/100x = 75/100 x 80/100 x
6/5x - 60 = 3/5 x
6/5x = 3/5 x = 60
3/5 x = 60
x = 100
Elena has $100 ow
Bonnie has $60 less than Elena = x-60
After Elena gives out 20%
Elena = 80/100 x
