    Answer = $44

    1. Divide $140 by 5/7. It will give us how much Kelvin had originally, which is $196

    (I got 5/7 by doing 7/7 - 2/7)

    2. Find 2/7 of 196 by multiplying them. This is 56 ... meaning that Kelvin gave James $56

    3. Subtract 100 - 56 to find how much James had before this, which is $44.
