Kylie and Leonard have $4576 altogether. 1/8 of Leonard’s money is $38 more than 25% of Kylie’s money. (a) How much does Kylie have? (b) What fraction of Leonard’s money is Kylie’s money? (Express your answer in its simplest form.) [5 marks][Answer given: $1424, 89/197]
4 K + 8 L --> $4576
1 L --> K + $38
8 L --> 8 K + 8 x 38 = 8 K + 304
4 K + 8 K --> 4576 - 304
12 K --> 4272
4 K --> 4/12 x 4272 = $1424
a) It is $1424.
8 L --> 4576 - 1424 = $3152
1424/3152 = 89/197
b) It was 89/197.
