Yen, Anna and Opal shared $380 among themselves. Anna and Opal shared
25 of the money equally. After Anna gave away some of her money to Yen, Opal had 4 times as much money as Anna. How much money did Anna give to Yen?
|
Anna |
Opal |
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 |
Anna and Opal shared
25 of the money equally.
Fraction of the money that Anna and Opal each had
=
25 ÷ 2
=
25 x
12 =
15 The amount that Opal had remains unchanged. The amount that Opal had is the unchanged quantity. Make the amount that Opal had the same. LCM of 1 and 4 is 4.
The amount that Anna and Opal had at first is the same.
Total amount that they had at first
= 4 u + 4 u + 12 u
= 20 u
20 u = 380
1 u = 380 ÷ 20 = 19
Amount that Anna gave to Yen
= 4 u - 1 u
= 3 u
= 3 x 19
= $57
Answer(s): $57
