| After |
2 u + 44 |
9 u + 3 |
If Kimberly received another $6 in the end, she would have the same amount of money as Kylie.
9 u + 3 + 6 = 2 u + 44
9 u + 9 = 2 u + 44
9 u - 2 u = 44 - 9
7 u = 35
1 u = 35 ÷ 7 = 5
Amount that the girls had in the end
= 2 u + 44 + 9 u + 3
= 2 u + 9 u + 44 + 3
= 11 u + 47
= 11 x 5 + 47
= $102
Answer(s): $102
