7 u |
9 p |
| Change |
- 3 u |
- 5 p |
| After |
4 u |
4 p |
Amount that Julian spent on the pencil = 3 u
3 u = 6.30
1 u = 6.30 ÷ 3 = 2.10
Amount that Julian had at first
= 7 u
= 7 x 2.10
= $14.70
Amount that Shiyun had at first
= 14.70 + 27.60
= $42.30
Fraction of money that Shiyun had left

49 Amount that Shiyun had at first = 9 p
9 p = 42.30
