50% of Pamela's amount was $1935 less than Vaidev's amount. When Pamela spent 35% of her amount and Vaidev spent 60% of his amount, they had the same amount of amount left. Find the amount that Vaidev had at first.

	Pamela	Vaidev
Before	40 u	65 u
Change	- 14 u	- 39 u
After	26 u	26 u

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

Percentage of Vaidev's amount left
= 100% - 60%
= 40%

65% = ⁶⁵₁₀₀ = ¹³₂₀
40% = ⁴⁰₁₀₀ = ²₅

The amounts of amount that Pamela and Vaidev had left were the same. Make the numerators the same.

¹³₂₀ of Pamela's amount = ²₅ of Vaidev's amount
²⁶₄₀ of Pamela's amount = ²⁶₆₅ of Vaidev's amount

Amount that Pamela had = 40 u

50% of the amount that Pamela had
= 50% x 40 u
= ⁵⁰₁₀₀ x 40 u
= 20 u

Difference between Vaidev's amount and 50% of Pamela's amount
= 65 u - 20 u
= 45 u

45 u = 1935

1 u = 1935 ÷ 45 = 43

Amount that Vaidev had at first
= 65 u
= 65 x 43
= $2795

Answer(s): $2795
