Henry |
Ahmad |
| Before |
6 u |
1 u |
| Change |
- 3 u |
|
| After |
3 u |
1 u |
Amount that Henry had after he spent half of his money
= 6 u ÷ 2
= 3 u
Amount that Henry had more than Ahmad in the end
= 3 u - 1 u
= 2 u
2 u = 30
1 u = 30 ÷ 2 = 15
Amount that Henry had at first
= 6 u
= 6 x 30
= $180
Answer(s): $180
