OK! I've got Q1 and Q3 solved. Q2 is a killer, i'm left stucked.


Q1
If Adam gives Bobby 13 marbles, he will have the same number of marbles as Bobby. If Bobby gives Adam 17 marbles, the number of marbles he has will be 2/5 that of Adam's. How many marbles does that bloody Bobby has?





Q2
At first, Jon has 2/3 as many marbles as Kevan. After Jon bought another 8 marbles, and Kevan lost 4 marbles, Jon now has 3/4 as many marbles as Kevan. Find the number of stupid marbles Jon had at first. (I'm stuck over here...)

Q3
Richard, Dan, and Tom shared a bag of GO LI (I'm sick of marbles). Richard recieved 60 GO LI, Tom recieved 25% less GO LI than Dan. Later Richard gave 28 GO LI to be shared by Dan and Tom. As a result, Tom still has 25% fewer Go Li than Dan and the number of GO LI dan recieved increases by 40%. How Many GO LI were in the bag?
