Owen |
Winnie |
| Before |
8 u |
5 p |
| Change |
- 7 u |
- 2 p |
| After |
1 u |
3 p |
Amount that Owen spent on the notebook = 7 u
7 u = 12.60
1 u = 12.60 ÷ 7 = 1.80
Amount that Owen had at first
= 8 u
= 8 x 1.80
= $14.40
Amount that Winnie had at first
= 14.40 + 60.10
= $74.50
Fraction of money that Winnie had left
