23 =
13 The amount that Diana and Usha had left is the same. Make the amount that Diana and Usha had left is the same. LCM of 3 and 1 is 3.
Amount that Usha had at first = 8 u
Amount that Diana had at first = 9 u
Amount that Diana had more than Usha at first
= 9 u - 8 u
= 1 u
= $30
Amount that Usha had at first
= 8 u
= 8 x 30
= $240
