Neave |
Abi |
| Before |
9 u |
8 p |
| Change |
- 2 u |
- 5 p |
| After |
7 u |
3 p |
Amount that Neave spent on the marker = 2 u
2 u = 2.60
1 u = 2.60 ÷ 2 = 1.30
Amount that Neave had at first
= 9 u
= 9 x 1.30
= $11.70
Amount that Abi had at first
= 11.70 + 69.10
= $80.80
Fraction of money that Abi had left
= 1 -
58 =
38 Amount that Abi had at first = 8 p
8 p = 80.80
1 p = 80.80 ÷ 8 = 10.10
Amount that Abi had left
= 3 p
= 3 x 10.10
= $30.30
Answer(s): $30.30
