After |
4 u + 47 |
4 u + 47 |
5 u + 30 |
Amount that Ivan had in the end = 4 u + 47
Amount that Jack had in the end = 5 u + 30
Amount that Gabriel had at first
= 4 u + 47 + 51 + 26
= 4 u + 124
Amount that Ivan and Jack had in the end is the same.
4 u + 47 = 5 u + 30
5 u - 4 u = 47 - 30
1 u = 17
Amount that Gabriel and Ivan had in the end is the same.
Amount that Gabriel had in the end
= 4 u + 47
= 4 x 17 + 47
= 68 + 47
= $115
Amount that Gabriel had at first
= 115 + 51 + 26
= $192
Difference in the amounts between Gabriel and Ivan at first
= 192 - 68
= $124
Answer(s): $124
