5 u - $13 |
1 u + $13 |
$228 |
Change |
+ $13 |
- $13 |

After |
5 u |
1 u |
$228 |
(a)
Total amount that Flynn and David have in the end
= 1 u + 5 u
= 6 u
6 u = 228
1 u = 228 ÷ 6 = 38
Amount that David has at first
= 1 u + 13
= 38 + 13
= $51
(b)
Amount that Flynn has at first
= 228 - 51
= $177
Answer(s): (a) $51; (b) $177
