Total |
Before |
1x5 = 5 u |
1x5 = 5 u |
3x5 = 15 u |
25 u |
Change |
- 4 u |
No change |
+ 4 u |
|
After |
1x1 = 1 u |
5x1 = 5 u |
19 u |
25 u |
Diana and Eva shared
25 of the money equally.
Fraction of the money that Diana and Eva each had
=
25 ÷ 2
=
25 x
12 =
15 The amount that Eva had remains unchanged. The amount that Eva had is the unchanged quantity. Make the amount that Eva had the same. LCM of 1 and 5 is 5.
The amount that Diana and Eva had at first is the same.
Total amount that they had at first
= 5 u + 5 u + 15 u
= 25 u
25 u = 400
1 u = 400 ÷ 25 = 16
Amount that Diana gave to Cindy
= 5 u - 1 u
= 4 u
= 4 x 16
= $64
Answer(s): $64
