Problem 17 (2017 AMC 8)

AMC 8Normal

From module Systems of Equations

Problem

Starting with some gold coins and some empty treasure chests, I tried to put 99 gold coins in each treasure chest, but that left 22 treasure chests empty. So instead I put 66 gold coins in each treasure chest, but then I had 33 gold coins left over. How many gold coins did I have?
