Cody |
Raeann |
| Before |
3 u |
9 p |
| Change |
- 2 u |
- 4 p |
| After |
1 u |
5 p |
Amount that Cody spent on the marker = 2 u
2 u = 4.20
1 u = 4.20 ÷ 2 = 2.10
Amount that Cody had at first
= 3 u
= 3 x 2.10
= $6.30
Amount that Raeann had at first
= 6.30 + 57.60
= $63.90
Fraction of money that Raeann had left
= 1 -
49 =
59 Amount that Raeann had at first = 9 p
9 p = 63.90
1 p = 63.90 ÷ 9 = 7.10
Amount that Raeann had left
= 5 p
= 5 x 7.10
= $35.50
Answer(s): $35.50
