Comparing the dishwasher

174 more |
|
|
After |
2 u |
+ 116 |
4x3 =
12 u |
|
174 ÷ 3 = 58
2 x 58 = 116
5 x 58 = 290
Total amount that Asher and Ryan had at first
= 5 u + 290 + 15 u
= 20 u + 290
20 u + 290 = 1090
20 u = 1090 - 290
20 u = 800
1 u = 800 ÷ 20 = 40
Amount that Asher had at first
= 5 u + 290
= 5 x 40 + 290
= 200 + 290
= $490
Answer(s): $490
