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

Xylium |
| Before |
4 u + 60 |
4 u |
| Change |
- 1 u - 15 |
- 3 u |
| After |
3 u + 45 |
1 u |
25% =
25100 =
14 75% =
75100 =
34Total amount that Flynn and Xylium had in the end
= 3 u + 45 + 1 u
= 4 u + 45
4 u + 45 = 249
3 u + 1 u = 249 - 45
4 u = 204
1 u = 204 ÷ 4 = 51
Amount that Flynn had in the end
= 3 u + 45
= 3 x 51 + 45
= 153 + 45
= $198
(b)
Amount that the Xylium had in the end
= 1 u
= $51
Fraction of the amount that Xylium had left as a fraction of the amount that Flynn had in the end
