Fabian had 5 times as much money as Luke. After Luke's father gave Luke $38, the amount of money Fabian had become $6 less than that of Luke's. How much did Luke have in the end?

Luke |
Fabian |
| Before |
1 u |
5 u |
| Change |
+ $38 |
|
| After |
1 u + $38 |
5 u |
The amount that Fabian had remains unchanged.
If Fabian had another $6, Luke and Fabian would have the same amount in the end.
5 u + 6 = 1 u + 38
5 u - 1 u = 38 - 6
4 u = 38 - 6
4 u = 32
1 u = 32 ÷ 4 = 8
Amount that Luke had in the end
= 1 u + 38
= 8 + 38
= $46
Answer(s): $46
