Yen, Hazel and Natalie shared $360 among themselves. Hazel and Natalie shared
25 of the money equally. After Hazel gave away some of her money to Yen, Natalie had 4 times as much money as Hazel. How much money did Hazel give to Yen?
|
Hazel |
Natalie |
Yen |
Total |
Before |
1x4 = 4 u |
1x4 = 4 u |
3x4 = 12 u |
20 u |
Change |
- 3 u |
No change |
+ 3 u |
|
After |
1x1 = 1 u |
4x1 = 4 u |
15 u |
20 u |
Hazel and Natalie shared
25 of the money equally.
Fraction of the money that Hazel and Natalie each had
=
25 ÷ 2
=
25 x
12 =
15 The amount that Natalie had remains unchanged. The amount that Natalie had is the unchanged quantity. Make the amount that Natalie had the same. LCM of 1 and 4 is 4.
The amount that Hazel and Natalie had at first is the same.
Total amount that they had at first
= 4 u + 4 u + 12 u
= 20 u
20 u = 360
1 u = 360 ÷ 20 = 18
Amount that Hazel gave to Yen
= 4 u - 1 u
= 3 u
= 3 x 18
= $54
Answer(s): $54
