At first
C-T = 7-1=6
In the end
C-T = 3-1=2

How to align the difference to be same ?

As this is P4 question
Not learn ratio (P5) yet
So model is drawn for your reference

at first
C:T:C-T = 7:1:6

in the end
C:T:C-T = 3:1:2 = 9:3:6

change
= 9-7 = 3-1 = 2 units

3u = 120

tables in total (after)
1 unit = 120÷3 = 40

2u = 2×40 = 80

All in total bought
2×80 = 160 (Ans)
