Word Problem - Fraction


Question :



XiuLi has $459 and YuLi has $1560. After both of them spent equal amount of money, XiuLi has 1/4 as many money as YuLi. So how much money has YuLi spent ?

Model Methods



Different at beginning = Different after spent

So 3 units $1560 - $459 = $1101
1 unit $1101 /3 = $367

YuLi spent = XiuLi spent = $459 - $367 = $92


                                                                                              ANS : $92
