Anna had
14 as much money as Ethan at first. After Anna received $226 and Ethan received $67, both of them had the same amount of money. How much did Ethan have at first?
|
Anna |
Ethan |
Before |
1 u |
4 u |
Change |
+ 226 |
+ 67 |
After |
1 u + 226 |
4 u + 67 |
The amount that Anna and Ethan had in the end is the same.
1 u + 226 = 4 u + 67
4 u - 1 u = 226 - 67 = 159
3 u = 159
1 u = 159 ÷ 3 = 53
Amount that Ethan had at first
= 4 u
= 4 x 53
= $212
Answer(s): $212
