20% of Jaslyn's amount was $2752 less than Michael's amount. When Jaslyn spent 30% of her amount and Michael spent 70% of his amount, they had the same amount of amount left. Find the amount that Michael had at first.

	Jaslyn	Michael
Before	30 u	70 u
Change	- 9 u	- 49 u
After	21 u	21 u

Percentage of Jaslyn's amount left
= 100% - 30%
= 70%

Percentage of Michael's amount left
= 100% - 70%
= 30%

70% = ⁷⁰₁₀₀ = ⁷₁₀
30% = ³⁰₁₀₀ = ³₁₀

The amounts of amount that Jaslyn and Michael had left were the same. Make the numerators the same.

⁷₁₀ of Jaslyn's amount = ³₁₀ of Michael's amount
²¹₃₀ of Jaslyn's amount = ²¹₇₀ of Michael's amount

Amount that Jaslyn had = 30 u

20% of the amount that Jaslyn had
= 20% x 30 u
= ²⁰₁₀₀ x 30 u
= 6 u

Difference between Michael's amount and 20% of Jaslyn's amount
= 70 u - 6 u
= 64 u

64 u = 2752

1 u = 2752 ÷ 64 = 43

Amount that Michael had at first
= 70 u
= 70 x 43
= $3010

Answer(s): $3010
