Assume Alan's brother has x coins before Alan gave him 48 coins
x+48=1.4x (increased by 40%)
0.4x=48
x=120
120+140=260
answer is 260 coins

Given:

In the given figure, PS=x, RS=35, UV=20, VW=25 and TW=15
To find:
The scale factor from PQRS to TUVW.
Solution:
We have,

We know that the corresponding sides of similar figures are proportional. The scale factor is the ratio of one side of image and corresponding side of preimage.
The scale factor is:



Therefore, the scale factor from PQRS to TUVW is
.
