5 u |
| Change |
- $98 |
- 3 u |
| After |
$150 |
2 u |
60% =
60100 =
35 Amount that Charlie had left
= 248 - 98
= $150
Total amount that Charlie and Reggie had left = 150 + 2 u
150 + 2 u = 176
2 u = 176 - 150
2 u = 26
1 u = 26 ÷ 2 = 13
Amount that Reggie had at first
= 5 u
= 5 x 13
= $65
Answer(s): $65
