Problema Solution
PLEASE HELP ME TO THE FOLLOWING:
The ratio of Shu Yee's saving to Hida's savings is 3:2. Their total savings is equal to 3/8 of Qiang Long's savings. After Shu Yee and Hida each saved another $89, the ratio of Shu Yee's savings to Qiang Long's savings becomes 1:4. How much money does Hida have at first?
THANKING YOU IN ADVANCE

At first
Shu Yee: 3x
Hida: 2x
Qiang Long: (3x+2x)/(3/8) = 40x/3
Later
Shu Yee: 3x+89
The equation is
3x+89 = (40x/3)/4
We solve it
x = 267
So 2x = 2*267 = 534
Hida has $534
