Amount that Hilda had = $847
Amount that Zane had
= 847 - 584
= $263
Total amount that Hilda and Zane had
= 847 + 263
= $1110
Amount that Hilda had in the end = 1 u
Amount that Zane had in the end = 4 u
Total amount that Hilda and Zane had
= 1 u + 4 u
= 5 u
As Hilda gave some money to Zane, the total amount that Zane and Hilda had at first and in the end remains unchanged.
5 u = 1110
1 u = 1110 ÷ 5 = 222
Amount that Hilda gave Zane
= 847 - 222
= $625
Answer(s): $625
