Gabriel |
Perry |
| Before |
6 u |
1 u |
| Change |
- 3 u |
|
| After |
3 u |
1 u |
Amount that Gabriel had after he spent half of his money
= 6 u ÷ 2
= 3 u
Amount that Gabriel had more than Perry in the end
= 3 u - 1 u
= 2 u
2 u = 22
1 u = 22 ÷ 2 = 11
Amount that Gabriel had at first
= 6 u
= 6 x 22
= $132
Answer(s): $132
