= 100% - 45%
= 55%

25 The amounts of amount that Jen and Fabian had left were the same. Make the numerators the same.
1120 of Jen's amount =
25 of Fabian's amount
2240 of Jen's amount =
2255 of Fabian's amount
Amount that Jen had = 40 u
50% of the amount that Jen had
= 50% x 40 u
=
50100 x 40 u
= 20 u
Difference between Fabian's amount and 50% of Jen's amount
= 55 u - 20 u
= 35 u
35 u = 1050
1 u = 1050 ÷ 35 = 30
Amount that Fabian had at first
= 55 u
= 55 x 30
= $1650
Answer(s): $1650
