he will end up having the number of money that X is timed by. basically if X=10 he will end up with 290= Y. while if X=10 then he would of ended up (with the older material) with Y=220. then do the math when you minus 290 by 220. that number is then simplified to 29 - 22. what does that equal? that's your answer.
