Zane, John and Warren shared a sum of money. The amount received by John was ²₃ the amount of money received by Warren. After Zane had given $46 to John and $27 to Warren, John gave $4 to Warren. In the end, 3 of them had the same amount of money. Find the difference between the amount of money that Zane and John had at first.

	Zane	John	Warren
Before	2 u + 115	2 u	3 u
Change 1	- 46	+ 46
Change 2	- 27		+ 27
Change 3		- 4	+ 4
After	2 u + 42	2 u + 42	3 u + 31

Amount that John had in the end = 2 u + 42 

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

Amount that Zane had at first 
= 2 u + 42 + 46 + 27
= 2 u + 115

Amount that John and Warren had in the end is the same.

2 u + 42 = 3 u + 31
3 u - 2 u = 42 - 31

1 u = 11

Amount that Zane and John had in the end is the same.

Amount that Zane had in the end
= 2 u + 42
= 2 x 11 + 42
= 22 + 42
= $64

Amount that Zane had at first
= 64 + 46 + 27
= $137

Difference in the amounts between Zane and John at first
= 137 - 22
= $115

Answer(s): $115
