29 of his money on a marker which cost $4.60. Fanny spent
14 of her money on a shirt. How much had Fanny left?
| |
Ethan |
Fanny |
| Before |
9 u |
4 p |
| Change |
- 2 u |
- 1 p |
| After |
7 u |
3 p |
Amount that Ethan spent on the marker = 2 u
2 u = 4.60
1 u = 4.60 ÷ 2 = 2.30
Amount that Ethan had at first
= 9 u
= 9 x 2.30
= $20.70
Amount that Fanny had at first
= 20.70 + 45.70
= $66.40
Fraction of money that Fanny had left
= 1 -
14 =
34 Amount that Fanny had at first = 4 p
4 p = 66.40
1 p = 66.40 ÷ 4 = 16.60
Amount that Fanny had left
= 3 p
= 3 x 16.60
= $49.80
Answer(s): $49.80
