Oliver |
Kylie |
| Before |
7 u |
9 p |
| Change |
- 3 u |
- 2 p |
| After |
4 u |
7 p |
Amount that Oliver spent on the pen = 3 u
3 u = 4.80
1 u = 4.80 ÷ 3 = 1.60
Amount that Oliver had at first
= 7 u
= 7 x 1.60
= $11.20
Amount that Kylie had at first
= 11.20 + 63.50
= $74.70
Fraction of money that Kylie had left
= 1 -
29 =
79 Amount that Kylie had at first = 9 p
9 p = 74.70
1 p = 74.70 ÷ 9 = 8.30
Amount that Kylie had left
= 7 p
= 7 x 8.30
= $58.10
Answer(s): $58.10
