25 The amounts of amount that Tammy and Warren had left were the same. Make the numerators the same.
1120 of Tammy's amount =
25 of Warren's amount
2240 of Tammy's amount =
2255 of Warren's amount
Amount that Tammy had = 40 u
40% of the amount that Tammy had
= 40% x 40 u
=
40100 x 40 u
= 16 u
Difference between Warren's amount and 40% of Tammy's amount
= 55 u - 16 u
= 39 u
39 u = 1482
1 u = 1482 ÷ 39 = 38
Amount that Warren had at first
