Cody, Simon and Flynn shared a sum of money. The amount received by Simon was ⁵₆ the amount of money received by Flynn. After Cody had given $48 to Simon and $23 to Flynn, Simon gave $7 to Flynn. In the end, 3 of them had the same amount of money. Find the difference between the amount of money that Cody and Simon had at first.

	Cody	Simon	Flynn
Before	5 u + 112	5 u	6 u
Change 1	- 48	+ 48
Change 2	- 23		+ 23
Change 3		- 7	+ 7
After	5 u + 41	5 u + 41	6 u + 30

Amount that Simon had in the end = 5 u + 41 

Amount that Flynn had in the end = 6 u + 30

Amount that Cody had at first 
= 5 u + 41 + 48 + 23
= 5 u + 112

Amount that Simon and Flynn had in the end is the same.

5 u + 41 = 6 u + 30
6 u - 5 u = 41 - 30

1 u = 11

Amount that Cody and Simon had in the end is the same.

Amount that Cody had in the end
= 5 u + 41
= 5 x 11 + 41
= 55 + 41
= $96

Amount that Cody had at first
= 96 + 48 + 23
= $167

Difference in the amounts between Cody and Simon at first
= 167 - 55
= $112

Answer(s): $112
