1 u |
8 u |
The amount that Ivan had left is the same. Make the numerators the same. LCM of 4 and 8 is 8.
4x29x2 of his money =
89 of his remaining money
818 of his money =
89 of his remaining money
Amount that Ivan spent on the windbreaker = 9 u
9 u = 54
1 u = 54 ÷ 9 = 6
Amount that Ivan had at first
= 18 u
= 18 x 6
= $108
Answer(s): $108
