Comparing the dishwasher
and the refrigerator |
226 more |
|
|
After |
3 u |
+ 339 |
5x2 =
10 u |
|
226 ÷ 2 = 113
3 x 113 = 339
5 x 113 = 565
Total amount that Henry and Tom had at first
= 5 u + 565 + 12 u
= 17 u + 565
17 u + 565 = 1245
17 u = 1245 - 565
17 u = 680
1 u = 680 ÷ 17 = 40
Amount that Henry had left
= 3 u + 339
= 3 x 40 + 339
= 120 + 339
= $459
Answer(s): $459
