Vaidev |
Emily |
| Before |
9 u |
4 p |
| Change |
- 2 u |
- 1 p |
| After |
7 u |
3 p |
Amount that Vaidev spent on the marker = 2 u
2 u = 4.60
1 u = 4.60 ÷ 2 = 2.30
Amount that Vaidev had at first
= 9 u
= 9 x 2.30
= $20.70
Amount that Emily had at first
= 20.70 + 62.50
= $83.20
Fraction of money that Emily had left
= 1 -
14 =
34 Amount that Emily had at first = 4 p
4 p = 83.20
1 p = 83.20 ÷ 4 = 20.80
Amount that Emily had left
= 3 p
= 3 x 20.80
= $62.40
Answer(s): $62.40
