Solution

Let's solve this step by step:

a. Let's denote the number of toys Michelle had at first as M. According to the problem, Donkey had M + 216 toys at first. After selling, Donkey had 25% of his toys left and Michelle had M - 35 toys left. The total number of toys they had left is 886. So we can write the equation:

0.25 * (M + 216) + M - 35 = 886

Solving this equation gives M = 560. So, Donkey had 560 + 216 = 776 toys at first.

b. Michelle sold 35 toys.
