Abi |
| Before |
4 u + 28 |
4 u |
| Change |
- 1 u - 7 |
- 3 u |
| After |
3 u + 21 |
1 u |
25% =
25100 =
14 75% =
75100 =
34Total amount that Jenson and Abi had in the end
= 3 u + 21 + 1 u
= 4 u + 21
4 u + 21 = 213
3 u + 1 u = 213 - 21
4 u = 192
1 u = 192 ÷ 4 = 48
Amount that Jenson had in the end
= 3 u + 21
= 3 x 48 + 21
= 144 + 21
= $165
