Anna and Rael had the same amount of savings at first. Then Anna spent
14 of her savings and Rael spent
23 of his savings. If Anna spent $910 less than Rael, how much did each of them have at first?
| |
Anna |
Rael |
| Before |
4x3 =
12 u |
3x4 =
12 u |
| Change |
1x3 =
- 3 u |
2x4 =
- 8 u |
| After |
9 u |
4 u |
The amount that Anna and Rael had at first is the same. Make the amount that Anna and Rael each had the same. LCM of 4 and 3 is 12.
Amount that Anna spent less than Rael
= 8 u - 3 u
= 5 u
5 u = 910
1 u = 910 ÷ 5 = 182
Amount that each of them had at first
= 12 u
= 12 x 182
= $2184
Answer(s): $2184
