3 u |
Total amount that Julie and Hilda had at first
= 4 u + 3 u + 36
= 7 u + 36
7 u + 36 = 372
4 u + 3 u = 372 - 36
7 u = 336
1 u = 336 ÷ 7 = 48
Amount that Julie had at first
= 4 u
= 4 x 48
= $192
Amount that Hilda had at first
= 372 - 192
= $180
At first
Julie : Hilda
192 : 180
16 : 15
Answer(s): 16 : 15
