Amount that Raeann had = $959
Amount that Daniel had
= 959 - 550
= $409
Total amount that Raeann and Daniel had
= 959 + 409
= $1368
Amount that Raeann had in the end = 1 u
Amount that Daniel had in the end = 3 u
Total amount that Raeann and Daniel had
= 1 u + 3 u
= 4 u
As Raeann gave some money to Daniel, the total amount that Daniel and Raeann had at first and in the end remains unchanged.
4 u = 1368
1 u = 1368 ÷ 4 = 342
Amount that Raeann gave Daniel
= 959 - 342
= $617
Answer(s): $617
