Comparing Shiyun and Yoko at first |
360 more |

Before |
3 u |
+ 360 |
3 u |
|
Change 1 |
- 2 u |
- 240 |
+ 2 u |
+ 240 |
After 1 |
1 u |
+ 120 |
5 u |
+ 240 |
Change 2 |
+ 1 u |
+ 48 |
- 1 u |
- 48 |
After 2 |
2 u |
+ 168 |
4 u |
+ 192 |
23 x 360= 240
360 - 240 = 120
20% x 5 u
=
20100 x 5 u
= 1 u
20% x 240
=
20100 x 240
= 48
240 - 48 = 192
120 + 48 = 168
If Shiyun received another $226 in the end, Shiyun and Yoko would have the same amount of money.
4 u + 192 = 2 u + 168 + 226
4 u - 2 u = 168 + 226 - 192
2 u = 202
1 u = 202 ÷ 2 = 101
Amount that Shiyun had at first
= 3 u + 360
= 3 x 101 + 360
= 303 + 360
= $663
Answer(s): $663
