Total |
Before |
1 u |
10 u |
|
Change |
+ $30 |
- $6 |
|
After |
1 u + $30 |
10 u - $6 |
11 u + $24 |
Amount of money Victoria and Julie has is the same in the end.
10 u - 6 = 1 u + 30
10 u - 1 u = 30 + 6
9 u = 36
1 u = 36 ÷ 9 = 4
Amount the girls have in the end
= 1 u + 30 + 10 u - 6
= 11 u + 24
= 11 x 4 + 24
= 44 + 24
= $68
Answer(s): $68
