Rachel had
13 as much money as Dylan at first. After Rachel received $162 and Dylan received $66, both of them had the same amount of money. How much did Dylan have at first?
|
Rachel |
Dylan |
Before |
1 u |
3 u |
Change |
+ 162 |
+ 66 |
After |
1 u + 162 |
3 u + 66 |
The amount that Rachel and Dylan had in the end is the same.
1 u + 162 = 3 u + 66
3 u - 1 u = 162 - 66 = 96
2 u = 96
1 u = 96 ÷ 2 = 48
Amount that Dylan had at first
= 3 u
= 3 x 48
= $144
Answer(s): $144
