Tanya has 4 times as many jellybeans as Misha has. If Tanya gave 8 of his jellybeans to Sasha, Misha would still have 24 jellybeans left. How many jellybeans does Tanya have?

A. 6
B. 8
C. 9
D. 12
E. 18

Given: Tanya has 4 times as many jellybeans as Misha has. If Tanya gave 8 of his jellybeans to Sasha, Misha would still have 24 jellybeans left.

Asked: How many jellybeans does Tanya have?

Let Tanya's jellybeans be t
Let Misha's jellybeans be m
Let Shasha's jellybeans be s

t=4m=4*24=96
t-8=88

No answer matches 88.

Question need some changes since Tanya, Misha & Sasha are 3 different persons .

If Tanya gave 8 of his jellybeans to Sasha, Misha would still have 24 jellybeans left. seems incorrect.
