Amount that Nicole had = $858
Amount that Warren had
= 858 - 516
= $342
Total amount that Nicole and Warren had
= 858 + 342
= $1200
Amount that Nicole had in the end = 1 u
Amount that Warren had in the end = 4 u
Total amount that Nicole and Warren had
= 1 u + 4 u
= 5 u
As Nicole gave some money to Warren, the total amount that Warren and Nicole had at first and in the end remains unchanged.
5 u = 1200
1 u = 1200 ÷ 5 = 240
Amount that Nicole gave Warren
= 858 - 240
= $618
Answer(s): $618
