Total |
| Before |
4 u + 26 |
11 u + 12 |
158 |
| Change |
- 26 |
- 12 |
|
| After |
4 u |
11 u |

Amount that Ahmad had spent
= 26 - 14
= $12
Total amount that Will and Ahmad had at first
= 4 u + 26 + 11 u + 12
= 15 u + 38
15 u + 38 = 158
15 u = 158 - 38
15 u = 120
1 u = 120 ÷ 15 = 8
Amount that Will had at first
= 11 u + 26
= 11 x 8 + 26
= 88 + 26
= $114
Answer(s): $114
