= 100% - 35%
= 65%
Percentage of Will's amount left

310 The amounts of amount that Winnie and Will had left were the same. Make the numerators the same.
1320 of Winnie's amount =
310 of Will's amount
3960 of Winnie's amount =
39130 of Will's amount
Amount that Winnie had = 60 u
30% of the amount that Winnie had
= 30% x 60 u
=
30100 x 60 u
= 18 u
Difference between Will's amount and 30% of Winnie's amount
= 130 u - 18 u
= 112 u
112 u = 4144
1 u = 4144 ÷ 112 = 37
Amount that Will had at first
= 130 u
= 130 x 37
= $4810
Answer(s): $4810
