Amount that Yoko had = $733
Amount that Cole had
= 733 - 434
= $299
Total amount that Yoko and Cole had
= 733 + 299
= $1032
Amount that Yoko had in the end = 1 u
Amount that Cole had in the end = 3 u
Total amount that Yoko and Cole had
= 1 u + 3 u
= 4 u
As Yoko gave some money to Cole, the total amount that Cole and Yoko had at first and in the end remains unchanged.
4 u = 1032
1 u = 1032 ÷ 4 = 258
Amount that Yoko gave Cole
= 733 - 258
= $475
Answer(s): $475
