Lee, Ian and Glen shared a sum of money. The amount received by Ian was ²₃ the amount of money received by Glen. After Lee had given $41 to Ian and $26 to Glen, Ian gave $5 to Glen. In the end, 3 of them had the same amount of money. Find the difference between the amount of money that Lee and Ian had at first.

	Lee	Ian	Glen
Before	2 u + 103	2 u	3 u
Change 1	- 41	+ 41
Change 2	- 26		+ 26
Change 3		- 5	+ 5
After	2 u + 36	2 u + 36	3 u + 31

Amount that Ian had in the end = 2 u + 36 

Amount that Glen had in the end = 3 u + 31

Amount that Lee had at first 
= 2 u + 36 + 41 + 26
= 2 u + 103

Amount that Ian and Glen had in the end is the same.

2 u + 36 = 3 u + 31
3 u - 2 u = 36 - 31

1 u = 5

Amount that Lee and Ian had in the end is the same.

Amount that Lee had in the end
= 2 u + 36
= 2 x 5 + 36
= 10 + 36
= $46

Amount that Lee had at first
= 46 + 41 + 26
= $113

Difference in the amounts between Lee and Ian at first
= 113 - 10
= $103

Answer(s): $103
