- How much did Owen have left in the end?
- Express the amount of money Fiona had left as a fraction of the amount of money Owen had in the end. (Give your answer in the simplest form)

Owen |
Fiona |
| Before |
4 u + 88 |
4 u |
| Change |
- 1 u - 22 |
- 3 u |
| After |
3 u + 66 |
1 u |
25% =
25100 =
14 75% =
75100 =
34Total amount that Owen and Fiona had in the end
= 3 u + 66 + 1 u
= 4 u + 66
4 u + 66 = 298
3 u + 1 u = 298 - 66
4 u = 232
1 u = 232 ÷ 4 = 58
Amount that Owen had in the end
= 3 u + 66
= 3 x 58 + 66
= 174 + 66
= $240
