Amount that Sabrina had = $773
Amount that Julian had
= 773 - 472
= $301
Total amount that Sabrina and Julian had
= 773 + 301
= $1074
Amount that Sabrina had in the end = 1 u
Amount that Julian had in the end = 5 u
Total amount that Sabrina and Julian had
= 1 u + 5 u
= 6 u
As Sabrina gave some money to Julian, the total amount that Julian and Sabrina had at first and in the end remains unchanged.
6 u = 1074
1 u = 1074 ÷ 6 = 179
Amount that Sabrina gave Julian
= 773 - 179
= $594
Answer(s): $594
