Rael |
Natalie |
| Before |
3 u |
9 p |
| Change |
- 2 u |
- 2 p |
| After |
1 u |
7 p |
Amount that Rael spent on the pen = 2 u
2 u = 4.20
1 u = 4.20 ÷ 2 = 2.10
Amount that Rael had at first
= 3 u
= 3 x 2.10
= $6.30
Amount that Natalie had at first
= 6.30 + 64.80
= $71.10
Fraction of money that Natalie had left
= 1 -
29 =
79 Amount that Natalie had at first = 9 p
9 p = 71.10
1 p = 71.10 ÷ 9 = 7.90
Amount that Natalie had left
= 7 p
= 7 x 7.90
= $55.30
Answer(s): $55.30
