Solution:-
Let Vincent has x dollars
Ravi has money = $ 200 + x
now,
Ravi gave 40% of money to Vincent
so , Rave gave moeny = 0.4 * (200 + x)
= 80 + 0.4 x
and ravi has money = 200 + x - 80 - 0.4x
= 120 + 0.6x
vincent has money = x + 80 + 0.4 x
= 80 + 1.4 x
now, Vincent gave 25 % of money to Ravi
so Vincent gave = 0.25 * (80 + 1.4x)
= 0.35x + 20
so Vincent has money = 80 + 1.4x - 0.35x - 20
= 1.05x + 60
and Ravi has money = 120+ 0.6 x + 0.35x + 20
= 140 + 0.95x
so now according to questions,
Vincent had $68 more than Ravi
so , 140 + 0.95x - 68 = 1.05x + 60
so x = 120
ans so Vincent gave money to Ravi = 0.35x + 20
= 62 $
