| Before |
4 u + 88 |
4 u |
| Change |
- 1 u - 22 |
- 3 u |
| After |
3 u + 66 |
1 u |
25% =

75100 =
34Total amount that Cody and Zara had in the end
= 3 u + 66 + 1 u
= 4 u + 66
4 u + 66 = 246
3 u + 1 u = 246 - 66
4 u = 180
1 u = 180 ÷ 4 = 45
Amount that Cody had in the end
= 3 u + 66
= 3 x 45 + 66
= 135 + 66
= $201
