40% of Emma's amount was $2205 less than George's amount. When Emma spent 35% of her amount and George spent 60% of his amount, they had the same amount of amount left. Find the amount that George had at first.

	Emma	George
Before	40 u	65 u
Change	- 14 u	- 39 u
After	26 u	26 u

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

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

65% = ⁶⁵₁₀₀ = ¹³₂₀
40% = ⁴⁰₁₀₀ = ²₅

The amounts of amount that Emma and George had left were the same. Make the numerators the same.

¹³₂₀ of Emma's amount = ²₅ of George's amount
²⁶₄₀ of Emma's amount = ²⁶₆₅ of George's amount

Amount that Emma had = 40 u

40% of the amount that Emma had
= 40% x 40 u
= ⁴⁰₁₀₀ x 40 u
= 16 u

Difference between George's amount and 40% of Emma's amount
= 65 u - 16 u
= 49 u

49 u = 2205

1 u = 2205 ÷ 49 = 45

Amount that George had at first
= 65 u
= 65 x 45
= $2925

Answer(s): $2925
