Julian |
| Before |
$265 |
20 u |
| Change |
- $35 |
- 9 u |
| After |
$230 |
11 u |
45% =
45100 =
920 Amount that Dylan had left
= 265 - 35
= $230
Total amount that Dylan and Julian had left = 230 + 11 u
230 + 11 u = 307
11 u = 307 - 230
11 u = 77
1 u = 77 ÷ 11 = 7
Amount that Julian had at first
= 20 u
= 20 x 7
= $140
