Nicole and Fanny had the same amount of money at first. After Nicole gave $350 to her niece, Fanny had 6 times as much money as Nicole. How much did Nicole have in the end?
| |
Nicole |
Fanny |
| Before |
1x6 =
6 u |
1x6 =
6 u |
| Change |
- $350 |
|
| After |
1 u |
6 u |
The amount that Fanny had at first and in the end remains unchanged. Make the amount that Fanny had the same. LCM of 1 and 6 is 6.
Amount that Nicole gave to her niece
= 6 u - 1 u
= 5 u
5 u = 350
1 u = 350 ÷ 5 = 70
Amount that Nicole had in the end
= 1 u
= $350
Answer(s): $350
