Dave has 85p ellie has £1.43 How much should ellie give to dave so that they both have the same amount of money

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 = p

Money left with Ellie after giving p to Dave = (143 - )p

Money with Dave after taking p from Ellie = (85 + )p

As per question statement, money with both of them is same.

i.e.

Therefore, Ellie should give 29p to Dave so that they have same amount of money.

They both will have 1.14£ or 114p each.
