20% of Julie's amount was $2944 less than Albert's amount. When Julie spent 30% of her amount and Albert spent 70% of his amount, they had the same amount of amount left. Find the amount that Albert had at first.

	Julie	Albert
Before	30 u	70 u
Change	- 9 u	- 49 u
After	21 u	21 u

Percentage of Julie's amount left
= 100% - 30%
= 70%

Percentage of Albert's amount left
= 100% - 70%
= 30%

70% = ⁷⁰₁₀₀ = ⁷₁₀
30% = ³⁰₁₀₀ = ³₁₀

The amounts of amount that Julie and Albert had left were the same. Make the numerators the same.

⁷₁₀ of Julie's amount = ³₁₀ of Albert's amount
²¹₃₀ of Julie's amount = ²¹₇₀ of Albert's amount

Amount that Julie had = 30 u

20% of the amount that Julie had
= 20% x 30 u
= ²⁰₁₀₀ x 30 u
= 6 u

Difference between Albert's amount and 20% of Julie's amount
= 70 u - 6 u
= 64 u

64 u = 2944

1 u = 2944 ÷ 64 = 46

Amount that Albert had at first
= 70 u
= 70 x 46
= $3220

Answer(s): $3220
