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

75100 =
34Total amount that Ahmad and Fanny had in the end
= 3 u + 66 + 1 u
= 4 u + 66
4 u + 66 = 394
3 u + 1 u = 394 - 66
4 u = 328
1 u = 328 ÷ 4 = 82
Amount that Ahmad had in the end
= 3 u + 66
= 3 x 82 + 66
= 246 + 66
= $312
