Fabian |
Before |
4 u |
1 u |
Change |
- 114 |
- 27 |
After |
4 u - 114 |
1 u - 27 |
The amounts that Julian and Fabian had left in the end is the same.
4 u - 114 = 1 u - 27
4 u - 1 u = 114 - 27
3 u = 87
1 u = 87 ÷ 3 = 29
Amount that Fabian had at first
= 1 u
= $29
(a)
Amount that each of them had in the end
= 29 - 27
= $2
Answer(s): (a) $29; (b) $2
