| After |
5 u + 49 |
8 u + 3 |
If Kylie received another $4 in the end, she would have the same amount of money as Winnie.
8 u + 3 + 4 = 5 u + 49
8 u + 7 = 5 u + 49
8 u - 5 u = 49 - 7
3 u = 42
1 u = 42 ÷ 3 = 14
Amount that the girls had in the end
= 5 u + 49 + 8 u + 3
= 5 u + 8 u + 49 + 3
= 13 u + 52
= 13 x 14 + 52
= $234
Answer(s): $234
