Amount that Zara had = $973
Amount that Julian had
= 973 - 514
= $459
Total amount that Zara and Julian had
= 973 + 459
= $1432
Amount that Zara had in the end = 1 u
Amount that Julian had in the end = 3 u
Total amount that Zara and Julian had
= 1 u + 3 u
= 4 u
As Zara gave some money to Julian, the total amount that Julian and Zara had at first and in the end remains unchanged.
4 u = 1432
1 u = 1432 ÷ 4 = 358
Amount that Zara gave Julian
= 973 - 358
= $615
Answer(s): $615
