| Before |
4 u + 48 |
4 u |
| Change |
- 1 u - 12 |
- 3 u |
| After |
3 u + 36 |
1 u |
25% =
25100 =
14 75% =
75100 =
34Total amount that Ryan and Hilda had in the end
= 3 u + 36 + 1 u
= 4 u + 36
4 u + 36 = 264
3 u + 1 u = 264 - 36
4 u = 228
1 u = 228 ÷ 4 = 57
Amount that Ryan had in the end
= 3 u + 36
= 3 x 57 + 36
= 171 + 36
= $207

Amount that the Hilda had in the end
= 1 u
= $57
