In an envelope, there were a total of 120 notes. 70% of them were $2-notes. The rest were $100-notes. Jenson took out some $2-notes. As a result, the remaining $2-notes made up 25% of the notes left in the envelope. Find the total value of the $2-notes Jenson took out from the envelope.

The number of $100-notes remains unchanged. Make the number of $100-notes the same. LCM of 3 and 3 is 3.
Total number of notes at first = 10 u
10 u = 120
1 u = 120 ÷ 10 = 12
Number of $2-notes that Jenson took out from the envelope
= 7 u - 1 u
= 6 u
= 6 x 12
= 72
Total value of $2-notes taken out
= 72 x 2
= $144
Answer(s): $144
