Answer:

$300

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say that L is the amount of money Luisa had in the beginning, and C is the amount of money Connor had in the beginning.

C + L = 360

C - 2/5 C = L + 2/5 C

Simplifying the second equation:

3/5 C = L + 2/5 C

1/5 C = L

Substituting into the first equation:

C + 1/5 C = 360

6/5 C = 360

C = 300

Connor originally had $300, and Luisa $60.  Connor gave Luisa $120, and they both had $180.

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

1.99385kg of chicken was eaten.

Unit conversion: 6.15g x 1kg/1000g = 0.00615kg

Eaten amount of chicken: 2kg - 0.00615kg = 1.99385kg
