Total |
Before |
9 u |
4 u |
13 u |
Change |
- 3.6 u |
+ 3.6 u |
|
After |
5.4 u |
7.6 u |
13 u |
The total amount that the 2 boys have remains the same.
Amount that Adam gives to Bryan
=
25 x 9 u
= 3.6 u
Amount that Adam has less than Bryan in the end
= 7.6 u - 5.4 u
= 2.2 u
2.2 u = 110
1 u = 110 ÷ 2.2 = 50
(a)
Amount that Bryan has at first
= 4 u
= 4 x 50
= $200
(b)
Amount that Adam has in the end
= 5.4 u
= 5.4 x 50
= $270
(c)
Amount that Adam gives to Bryan
= 3.6 u
= 3.6 x 50
= $180
Answer(s): (a) $200; (b) $270; (c) $180
