| Comparing between Shiyun and Eva in the end |
1 u |
4 u |
Total amount that Shiyun and Eva had at first
= 6 u + 4 u + 24
= 10 u + 24
10 u + 24 = 984
6 u + 5 u = 984 - 24
10 u = 960
1 u = 960 ÷ 10 = 96
Amount that Shiyun had at first
= 6 u
= 6 x 96
= $576
Amount that Eva had at first
= 984 - 576
= $408
At first
Shiyun : Eva
576 : 408
24 : 17
Answer(s): 24 : 17
