5 u - $29 |
1 u + $29 |
$522 |
Change |
+ $29 |
- $29 |

After |
5 u |
1 u |
$522 |
(a)
Total amount that Zeph and Harry have in the end
= 1 u + 5 u
= 6 u
6 u = 522
1 u = 522 ÷ 6 = 87
Amount that Harry has at first
= 1 u + 29
= 87 + 29
= $116
(b)
Amount that Zeph has at first
= 522 - 116
= $406
Answer(s): (a) $116; (b) $406
