Before |
2x6 = 12 u |
2x6 = 12 u |
5x6 = 30 u |
54 u |
Change |
- 10 u |
No change |
+ 10 u |
|
After |
1x2 = 2 u |
6x2 = 12 u |
40 u |
54 u |
Wendy and Jaslyn shared
49 of the money equally.
Fraction of the money that Wendy and Jaslyn each had
=
49 ÷ 2
=
49 x
12 =
29 The amount that Jaslyn had remains unchanged. The amount that Jaslyn had is the unchanged quantity. Make the amount that Jaslyn had the same. LCM of 2 and 6 is 12.
The amount that Wendy and Jaslyn had at first is the same.
Total amount that they had at first
= 12 u + 12 u + 30 u
= 54 u
54 u = 594
1 u = 594 ÷ 54 = 11
Amount that Wendy gave to Sabrina
= 12 u - 2 u
= 10 u
= 10 x 11
= $110
Answer(s): $110
