14 The amount that Dana and Kylie had left is the same. Make the amount that Dana and Kylie had left is the same. LCM of 2 and 1 is 2.
Amount that Kylie had at first = 7 u
Amount that Dana had at first = 8 u
Amount that Dana had more than Kylie at first
= 8 u - 7 u
= 1 u
= $29
Amount that Kylie had at first
= 7 u
= 7 x 29
