Warren |
Ivory |
| Before |
4 u |
9 p |
| Change |
- 3 u |
- 4 p |
| After |
1 u |
5 p |
Amount that Warren spent on the marker = 3 u
3 u = 6.60
1 u = 6.60 ÷ 3 = 2.20
Amount that Warren had at first
= 4 u
= 4 x 2.20
= $8.80
Amount that Ivory had at first
= 8.80 + 56.90
= $65.70
Fraction of money that Ivory had left
= 1 -
49 =
59 Amount that Ivory had at first = 9 p
9 p = 65.70
1 p = 65.70 ÷ 9 = 7.30
Amount that Ivory had left
= 5 p
= 5 x 7.30
= $36.50
Answer(s): $36.50
