Percentage of Risa's amount left
= 100% - 35%
= 65%
Percentage of Tim's amount left
= 100% - 70%
= 30%
65% =
65100 =
1320 30% =
30100 =
310 The amounts of amount that Risa and Tim had left were the same. Make the numerators the same.
1320 of Risa's amount =
310 of Tim's amount
3960 of Risa's amount =
39130 of Tim's amount
Amount that Risa had = 60 u
50% of the amount that Risa had
= 50% x 60 u
=
50100 x 60 u
= 30 u
Difference between Tim's amount and 50% of Risa's amount
= 130 u - 30 u
= 100 u
100 u = 2800
1 u = 2800 ÷ 100 = 28
Amount that Tim had at first
= 130 u
= 130 x 28
= $3640
Answer(s): $3640
