| After |
4 u + 48 |
9 u + 7 |
If Jaslyn received another $6 in the end, she would have the same amount of money as Sabrina.
9 u + 7 + 6 = 4 u + 48
9 u + 13 = 4 u + 48
9 u - 4 u = 48 - 13
5 u = 35
1 u = 35 ÷ 5 = 7
Amount that the girls had in the end
= 4 u + 48 + 9 u + 7
= 4 u + 9 u + 48 + 7
= 13 u + 55
= 13 x 7 + 55
= $146
Answer(s): $146
