70% of Gwen's amount was $1470 more than Neave's amount. When Gwen spent 65% of her amount and Neave spent 35% of his amount, they had the same amount of amount left. Find the amount that Neave had at first.

	70% of Gwen's amount	Gwen's amount	Neave's amount
Before	182 u	260 u	140 u
Change		- 169 u (- 65%)	- 49 u (- 35%)
After		91 u	91 u

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

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

35% = ³⁵₁₀₀ = ⁷₂₀
65% = ⁶⁵₁₀₀ = ¹³₂₀

The amounts of amount that Gwen and Neave had left were the same.
Make the numerators the same.

⁷₂₀ of Gwen's amount = ¹³₂₀ of Neave's amount
⁹¹₂₆₀ of Gwen's amount = ⁹¹₁₄₀ of Neave's amount

Amount that Gwen had = 260 u

70% of the amount that Gwen had
= 260 u x 70%
= 260 u x ⁷⁰₁₀₀
= 182 u

Difference between 70% of Gwen's amount and Neave's amount
= 182 u - 140 u 
= 42 u

42 u = 1470
1 u = 1470 ÷ 42 = 35

Amount that Neave had at first
= 140 u
= 140 x 35
= $4900

Answer(s): $4900
