Amount that Tammy had = $837
Amount that Julian had
= 837 - 482
= $355
Total amount that Tammy and Julian had
= 837 + 355
= $1192
Amount that Tammy had in the end = 1 u
Amount that Julian had in the end = 3 u
Total amount that Tammy and Julian had
= 1 u + 3 u
= 4 u
As Tammy gave some money to Julian, the total amount that Julian and Tammy had at first and in the end remains unchanged.
4 u = 1192
1 u = 1192 ÷ 4 = 298
Amount that Tammy gave Julian
= 837 - 298
= $539
Answer(s): $539
