25 The amounts of amount that Raeann and Tim had left were the same. Make the numerators the same.
1120 of Raeann's amount =
25 of Tim's amount
2240 of Raeann's amount =
2255 of Tim's amount
Amount that Raeann had = 40 u
20% of the amount that Raeann had
= 20% x 40 u
=
20100 x 40 u
= 8 u
Difference between Tim's amount and 20% of Raeann's amount
= 55 u - 8 u
= 47 u
47 u = 1128
1 u = 1128 ÷ 47 = 24
Amount that Tim had at first
= 55 u
= 55 x 24
= $1320
Answer(s): $1320
