Riordan |
Wesley |
Cyrus |
Before |
9 u |
4 u |
8 u |
Change |
+ 2.4 u |
+ 2.4 u |
- 4.8 u |
After |
11.4 u |
6.4 u |
3.2 u |
Number of coins that Cyrus gave to Riordan and Wesley
=
35 x 8 u
= 4.8 u
Number of coins that Wesley received from Cyrus
=
60100 x 4 u
= 2.4 u
Number of coins that Riordan received from Cyrus
= 4.8 u - 2.4 u
= 2.4 u
Number of less coins that Cyrus had less than Riordan
= 11.4 u - 3.2 u
= 8.2 u
8.2 u = 328
1 u = 328 ÷ 8.2 = 40
Number of coins that Riordan and Cyrus had
= 11.4 u + 3.2 u
= 14.6 u
= 14.6 x 40
= 584
Answer(s): 584
