Brandon |
Flynn |
| Before |
$175 |
20 u |
| Change |
- $59 |
- 9 u |
| After |
$116 |
11 u |
45% =
45100 =
920 Amount that Brandon had left
= 175 - 59
= $116
Total amount that Brandon and Flynn had left = 116 + 11 u
116 + 11 u = 127
11 u = 127 - 116
11 u = 11
1 u = 11 ÷ 11 = 1
Amount that Flynn had at first
= 20 u
= 20 x 1
= $20
Answer(s): $20
