Question 1208119
~~~~~~~~~

Claudia and Agnes had some curry puffs. Claudia gave Agnes 1/4 of the number of curry puffs she had. Agnes gave Claudia 1/11 of the number she had. Both had the same number of curry puffs. If there were 240 curry puffs how many did each of them have.

~~~~~~~~~

Maybe the question should have been, "how many did each of them have at the beginning?"
