Jennifer has 60 dollars more than brian

Jennifer has 60 dollars more than Brian. If she were to give Brian 1/5 of her money, Brian would have 25% less than the amount that Jennifer would then have. How much money does Jennifer have? A. 40 B. 100 C. 120 D. 140 E. 180 Can this problem be solved with smart numbers instead of algebra? Thanks

Great. I needed to figure out how to solve the problem with numbers instead of algebra. Backsolving works perfect. Thank you
