Before |
6 u + 20 |
1 u + 30 |
Change |
- 20 |
- 30 |
After |
6 u |
1 u |
(a)
At first
Amount that Charlie has = Amount that Bryan has
6 u + 20 = 1 u + 30
6 u - 1 u = 30 - 20
5 u = 10
1 u = 10 ÷ 5 = 2
Amount that each of them has at first
= 1 u + 30
= 2 + 30
= $32
(b)
Amount that Bryan has less than Charlie in the end
= 6 u - 1 u
= 5 u
= 5 x 2
= $10
Answer(s): (a) $32; (b) $10
