2 u - $18 |
1 u + $18 |
$222 |
Change |
+ $18 |
- $18 |

After |
2 u |
1 u |
$222 |
(a)
Total amount that Fabian and Andy have in the end
= 1 u + 2 u
= 3 u
3 u = 222
1 u = 222 ÷ 3 = 74
Amount that Andy has at first
= 1 u + 18
= 74 + 18
= $92
(b)
Amount that Fabian has at first
= 222 - 92
= $130
Answer(s): (a) $92; (b) $130
