Before |
1 u |
10 u |
|
Change |
+ $26 |
- $10 |
|
After |
1 u + $26 |
10 u - $10 |
11 u + $16 |
Amount of money Raeann and Irene has is the same in the end.
10 u - 10 = 1 u + 26
10 u - 1 u = 26 + 10
9 u = 36
1 u = 36 ÷ 9 = 4
Amount the girls have in the end
= 1 u + 26 + 10 u - 10
= 11 u + 16
= 11 x 4 + 16
= 44 + 16
= $60
Answer(s): $60
