Answer:
29p
Step-by-step explanation:
Money available with Dave = 85p
Money available with Ellie = £1.43
To find:
How much money should Ellie given to Dave so that they both have the same amount of money?
Solution:
First of all, let us convert £ to p.
1 £ = 100p
1.43£ = 143p
Let number of 'p' that Ellie has to give to Dave so that they have equal amount of money = [tex]x[/tex] p
Money left with Ellie after giving [tex]x[/tex] p to Dave = (143 - [tex]x[/tex])p
Money with Dave after taking [tex]x[/tex] p from Ellie = (85 + [tex]x[/tex])p
As per question statement, money with both of them is same.
i.e.
[tex]143-x=85+x\\\Rightarrow 2x=143-85\\\Rightarrow 2x = 58\\\Rightarrow x = \bold{29p}[/tex]
Therefore, Ellie should give 29p to Dave so that they have same amount of money.
They both will have 1.14£ or 114p each.
