Amount that Raeann had = $802
Amount that Lee had
= 802 - 476
= $326
Total amount that Raeann and Lee had
= 802 + 326
= $1128
Amount that Raeann had in the end = 1 u
Amount that Lee had in the end = 2 u
Total amount that Raeann and Lee had
= 1 u + 2 u
= 3 u
As Raeann gave some money to Lee, the total amount that Lee and Raeann had at first and in the end remains unchanged.
3 u = 1128
1 u = 1128 ÷ 3 = 376
Amount that Raeann gave Lee
= 802 - 376
= $426
Answer(s): $426
