+ 6 |
| After |
9 u + 34 |
11 u + 6 |
If Nicole received another $4 in the end, she would have the same amount of money as Kylie.
11 u + 6 + 4 = 9 u + 34
11 u + 10 = 9 u + 34
11 u - 9 u = 34 - 10
2 u = 24
1 u = 24 ÷ 2 = 12
Amount that the girls had in the end
= 9 u + 34 + 11 u + 6
= 9 u + 11 u + 34 + 6
= 20 u + 40
= 20 x 12 + 40
= $280
Answer(s): $280
