Total |
| Before |
7x3 =
21 u |
13x3 =
39 u |
20x3 =
60 u |
| Change |
- 22 |
+ 22 |
|
| After |
1x10 =
10 u |
5x10 =
50 u |
6x10 =
60 u |
The total amount of money remains the same.
35% =
35100 =
720Amount that Will gave to Ryan
= 21 u - 10 u
= 11 u
11 u = 22
1 u = 22 ÷ 11 = 2
Total amount of money given to the two boys
= 60 u
= 60 x 2
= $120
