Percentage of Anna's amount left
= 100% - 30%
= 70%
Percentage of Valen's amount left
= 100% - 60%
= 40%
70% =

25 The amounts of amount that Anna and Valen had left were the same. Make the numerators the same.
710 of Anna's amount =
25 of Valen's amount
1420 of Anna's amount =
1435 of Valen's amount
Amount that Anna had = 20 u
20% of the amount that Anna had
= 20% x 20 u
=
20100 x 20 u
= 4 u
Difference between Valen's amount and 20% of Anna's amount
= 35 u - 4 u
= 31 u
31 u = 713
1 u = 713 ÷ 31 = 23
Amount that Valen had at first
= 35 u
= 35 x 23
= $805
Answer(s): $805
