Amount that Victoria had = $1000
Amount that Justin had
= 1000 - 440
= $560
Total amount that Victoria and Justin had
= 1000 + 560
= $1560
Amount that Victoria had in the end = 1 u
Amount that Justin had in the end = 4 u
Total amount that Victoria and Justin had
= 1 u + 4 u
= 5 u
As Victoria gave some money to Justin, the total amount that Justin and Victoria had at first and in the end remains unchanged.
5 u = 1560
1 u = 1560 ÷ 5 = 312
Amount that Victoria gave Justin
= 1000 - 312
= $688
Answer(s): $688
