Amount that Fanny had = $943
Amount that Jenson had
= 943 - 632
= $311
Total amount that Fanny and Jenson had
= 943 + 311
= $1254
Amount that Fanny had in the end = 1 u
Amount that Jenson had in the end = 2 u
Total amount that Fanny and Jenson had
= 1 u + 2 u
= 3 u
As Fanny gave some money to Jenson, the total amount that Jenson and Fanny had at first and in the end remains unchanged.
3 u = 1254
1 u = 1254 ÷ 3 = 418
Amount that Fanny gave Jenson
= 943 - 418
= $525
Answer(s): $525
