| Before |
4 u + $66.30 |
4 u |
$66.30 |
| Change |
|
- 3 u |
|
| After |
4 u + $66.30 |
1 u |
3 u + $66.30 |
Asher had $98.40 more than Flynn in the end.
4 u + 66.30 - 1 u = 98.40
3 u + 66.30 = 98.40
3 u = 98.40 - 66.30
3 u = 32.10
1 u = 32.10 ÷ 3 = 10.70
Amount that Asher had at first
= 4 u + 66.30
= 4 x 10.70 + 66.30
= 42.80 + 66.30
= $109.10
Answer(s): $109.10
