Amount that Dana had = $992
Amount that Will had
= 992 - 504
= $488
Total amount that Dana and Will had
= 992 + 488
= $1480
Amount that Dana had in the end = 1 u
Amount that Will had in the end = 4 u
Total amount that Dana and Will had
= 1 u + 4 u
= 5 u
As Dana gave some money to Will, the total amount that Will and Dana had at first and in the end remains unchanged.
5 u = 1480
1 u = 1480 ÷ 5 = 296
Amount that Dana gave Will
= 992 - 296
= $696
Answer(s): $696
