Total |
Before |
4 u |
3 u |
7 u |
Change |
- 1.6 u |
+ 1.6 u |
|
After |
2.4 u |
4.6 u |
7 u |
The total amount that the 2 boys have remains the same.
Amount that Adam gives to Bryan
=
25 x 4 u
= 1.6 u
Amount that Adam has less than Bryan in the end
= 4.6 u - 2.4 u
= 2.2 u
2.2 u = 330
1 u = 330 ÷ 2.2 = 150
(a)
Amount that Bryan has at first
= 3 u
= 3 x 150
= $450
(b)
Amount that Adam has in the end
= 2.4 u
= 2.4 x 150
= $360
(c)
Amount that Adam gives to Bryan
= 1.6 u
= 1.6 x 150
= $240
Answer(s): (a) $450; (b) $360; (c) $240
