Answer:
£390
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of money in bank:
Terry : Faye
3 : 7
Terry put £220 in his account
Faye withdrew £300 from her account
Unknown:
Initial amount Terry had = ?
Solution:
Let the real amount terry has = 3x
Faye will have = 7x
Now;
3x + 220 = 7x -300
Solving this equation:
3x + 220 = 7x -300
3x - 7x = -300 - 220
-4x = - 520
4x = 520
x = 130
Originally, Terry has 3x = 3 x 130 = £390
2 and 4.5 is not equivilant since 2 and 4.5 cannot go together (the 0.5 does not help and so it does not make it equivalent.)
Hope this helped!
