The number of blankets is 160

Solution:

Let "x" be the number of blankets started with

Half of the blanket are distributed in an old age house

Therefore,

old\ age\ home = \frac{x}{2}

Remaining = x - \frac{x}{2} = \frac{x}{2}

Three fourth of the remaining in orphanage

Orphanage = \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{x}{2} = \frac{3x}{8}

Remaining =   \frac{x}{2} - \frac{3x}{8}\\\\Remaining = \frac{x}{8}

Rest 20 distributed to road side beggars

\frac{x}{8} = 20\\\\x = 8 \times 20\\\\x = 160

Thus number of blankets is 160
