Comparing the notebook

245 more |
|
|
After |
3 u |
+ 147 |
2x5 =
10 u |
|
245 ÷ 5 = 49
3 x 49 = 147
8 x 49 = 392
Total amount that Flynn and Jeremy had at first
= 8 u + 392 + 15 u
= 23 u + 392
23 u + 392 = 1128
23 u = 1128 - 392
23 u = 736
1 u = 736 ÷ 23 = 32
Amount that Flynn had left
= 3 u + 147
= 3 x 32 + 147
= 96 + 147
= $243
Answer(s): $243
