5 x 9 u = 45 u |
10 x 8 u = 80 u |
(a)
Change ratio into units.
Number of $5 notes = 9 u
Number of $10 notes = 8 u
Total number of notes
= 9 u + 8 u
= 17 u
(b)
Difference in the number of notes
= 9 u - 8 u
= 1 u
(c)
Total value of $5 notes
= 9 u x 5
= 45 u
Total value of $10 notes
= 8 u x 10
= 80 u
Total value of notes
= 45 u + 80 u
= 125 u
(d)
Difference in the value of notes
= 80 u - 45 u
= 35 u
Answer(s): (a) 17; (b) 1; (c) 125; (d) 35
