Change 2 |

Change 3 |

+ 6 |
After |
3 u + 38 |
3 u + 38 |
4 u + 35 |
Amount that Gabriel had in the end = 3 u + 38
Amount that Sam had in the end = 4 u + 35
Amount that Ahmad had at first
= 3 u + 38 + 44 + 29
= 3 u + 111
Amount that Gabriel and Sam had in the end is the same.
3 u + 38 = 4 u + 35
4 u - 3 u = 38 - 35
1 u = 3
Amount that Ahmad and Gabriel had in the end is the same.
Amount that Ahmad had in the end
= 3 u + 38
= 3 x 3 + 38
= 9 + 38
= $47
Amount that Ahmad had at first
= 47 + 44 + 29
= $120
Difference in the amounts between Ahmad and Gabriel at first
= 120 - 9
= $111
Answer(s): $111
