910 The amounts of amount that Pamela and Julian had left were the same.
Make the numerators the same.
25 of Pamela's amount =
910 of Julian's amount
1845 of Pamela's amount =
1820 of Julian's amount
Amount that Pamela had = 45 u
80% of the amount that Pamela had

= 45 u x
80100 = 36 u
Difference between 80% of Pamela's amount and Julian's amount
= 36 u - 20 u
= 16 u
16 u = 352
1 u = 352 ÷ 16 = 22

= 20 x 22
= $440
