Amount that Victoria had = $860
Amount that Henry had
= 860 - 496
= $364
Total amount that Victoria and Henry had
= 860 + 364
= $1224
Amount that Victoria had in the end = 1 u
Amount that Henry had in the end = 5 u
Total amount that Victoria and Henry had
= 1 u + 5 u
= 6 u
As Victoria gave some money to Henry, the total amount that Henry and Victoria had at first and in the end remains unchanged.
6 u = 1224
1 u = 1224 ÷ 6 = 204
Amount that Victoria gave Henry
= 860 - 204
= $656
Answer(s): $656
