Will had $124 more than Fabian at first. If Fabian had another $124 at first, both of them would had the same amount of money.
6 u - 128 = 1 u + 128 + 124
6 u - 128 = 1 u + 252
6 u - 1 u = 128 + 252
5 u = 380
1 u = 380 ÷ 5 = 76
Amount that Will had at first
= 6 u - 128
= 6 x 76 - 128
= 456 - 128
= $328
Answer(s): $328
