Math Question Enquiry

Dear Sunny,

Can you advise me on the following math question?

Mary and Jason each has some money. If Mary spent $80 per day and Jason spent $40 per day. Mary wil had $500 left when Jason has spent all his money.

If Mary spent $40 per day and Jason spent $80 per day, Mary will have $1100 left when Jason has spend all his money.

What is the amount of money Jason has?

Regards,
Venus

Why is it that in Case 1, for Mary(Before), the value is 500 + 4u?

Why 4u?

Mary spent $80 per day and Jason spent $40 per day.

As we do not know how many days, we convert their spending to ratio = 80:40, thus reducing to lowest term 4:2 and put 4u and 2u into the table
