Percentage of Min's amount left
= 100% - 65%
= 35%
Percentage of Perry's amount left
= 100% - 35%
= 65%
35% =
35100 =
720 65% =
65100 =
1320 The amounts of amount that Min and Perry had left were the same.
Make the numerators the same.
720 of Min's amount =
1320 of Perry's amount
91260 of Min's amount =
91140 of Perry's amount
Amount that Min had = 260 u
90% of the amount that Min had
= 260 u x 90%
= 260 u x
90100 = 234 u
Difference between 90% of Min's amount and Perry's amount
= 234 u - 140 u
= 94 u
94 u = 3102
1 u = 3102 ÷ 94 = 33
Amount that Perry had at first
= 140 u
= 140 x 33
= $4620
Answer(s): $4620
