5 u |
| Change |
- $30 |
- 3 u |
| After |
$240 |
2 u |
60% =
60100 =
35 Amount that Fred had left
= 270 - 30
= $240
Total amount that Fred and Fabian had left = 240 + 2 u
240 + 2 u = 368
2 u = 368 - 240
2 u = 128
1 u = 128 ÷ 2 = 64
Amount that Fabian had at first
= 5 u
= 5 x 64
= $320
Answer(s): $320
