45 The amounts of amount that Roshel and Glen had left were the same.
Make the numerators the same.
920 of Roshel's amount =
45 of Glen's amount
3680 of Roshel's amount =
3645 of Glen's amount
Amount that Roshel had = 80 u
80% of the amount that Roshel had

= 19 u
19 u = 323
1 u = 323 ÷ 19 = 17

= 45 x 17
= $765
