Michael |
Jade |
| Before |
4 u |
5 p |
| Change |
- 3 u |
- 2 p |
| After |
1 u |
3 p |
Amount that Michael spent on the notebook = 3 u
3 u = 6.30
1 u = 6.30 ÷ 3 = 2.10
Amount that Michael had at first
= 4 u
= 4 x 2.10
= $8.40
Amount that Jade had at first
= 8.40 + 26.10
= $34.50
Fraction of money that Jade had left
