Total |
Before |
8 u |
+ 376 |
4x5 = 20 u |
936 |
Change |
- 5 u |
- 235 |
- 1x5 = - 5 u |
|
Comparing the washing machine and the dishwasher |
235 more |
|
|
After |
3 u |
+ 141 |
3x5 = 15 u |
|
235 ÷ 5 = 47
3 x 47 = 141
8 x 47 = 376
Total amount that Michael and Ivan had at first
= 8 u + 376 + 20 u
= 28 u + 376
28 u + 376 = 936
28 u = 936 - 376
28 u = 560
1 u = 560 ÷ 28 = 20
Amount that Michael had left
= 3 u + 141
= 3 x 20 + 141
= 60 + 141
= $201
Answer(s): $201
