| Before |
1 p + 4 u |
1 p + 1 u |
$105 |
| Change |
- 4 u |
- 1 u |
|
| After |
1 p |
1 p |
|
Amount that Owen spent more than Gabriel
= 4 u - 1 u
= 3 u
3 u = 105
1 u = 105 ÷ 3 = 35
Amount that Owen spent in 5 days
= 4 u
= 4 x 35
= $140
Amount that Owen spent every day
= 140 ÷ 5
= $28
Answer(s): $28
