David had $55.20 less than Yen. He spent
34 of his money on a marker which cost $8.40. Yen spent
58 of her money on a jumpsuit. How much had Yen left?
| |
David |
Yen |
| Before |
4 u |
8 p |
| Change |
- 3 u |
- 5 p |
| After |
1 u |
3 p |
Amount that David spent on the marker = 3 u
3 u = 8.40
1 u = 8.40 ÷ 3 = 2.80
Amount that David had at first
= 4 u
= 4 x 2.80
= $11.20
Amount that Yen had at first
= 11.20 + 55.20
= $66.40
Fraction of money that Yen had left
= 1 -
58 =
38 Amount that Yen had at first = 8 p
8 p = 66.40
1 p = 66.40 ÷ 8 = 8.30
Amount that Yen had left
= 3 p
= 3 x 8.30
= $24.90
Answer(s): $24.90
