20 u |
| Change |
- $32 |
- 11 u |
| After |
$224 |
9 u |
55% =
55100 =
1120 Amount that David had left
= 256 - 32
= $224
Total amount that David and Julian had left = 224 + 9 u
224 + 9 u = 305
9 u = 305 - 224
9 u = 81
1 u = 81 ÷ 9 = 9
Amount that Julian had at first
= 20 u
= 20 x 9
= $180
Answer(s): $180
