- Express the amount of money Joelle had left as a fraction of the amount of money Ivan had in the end. (Give your answer in the simplest form)

Joelle |
| Before |
4 u + 32 |
4 u |
| Change |
- 1 u - 8 |
- 3 u |
| After |
3 u + 24 |
1 u |
25% =
25100 =
14 75% =
75100 =
34Total amount that Ivan and Joelle had in the end
= 3 u + 24 + 1 u
= 4 u + 24
4 u + 24 = 252
3 u + 1 u = 252 - 24
4 u = 228
1 u = 228 ÷ 4 = 57
Amount that Ivan had in the end
= 3 u + 24
= 3 x 57 + 24
= 171 + 24
= $195
(b)
Amount that the Joelle had in the end
= 1 u
= $57
Fraction of the amount that Joelle had left as a fraction of the amount that Ivan had in the end
