Owen had
14 as much money as Nora at first. After Owen received $214 and Nora received $82, both of them had the same amount of money. How much did Nora have at first?
|
Owen |
Nora |
Before |
1 u |
4 u |
Change |
+ 214 |
+ 82 |
After |
1 u + 214 |
4 u + 82 |
The amount that Owen and Nora had in the end is the same.
1 u + 214 = 4 u + 82
4 u - 1 u = 214 - 82 = 132
3 u = 132
1 u = 132 ÷ 3 = 44
Amount that Nora had at first
= 4 u
= 4 x 44
= $176
Answer(s): $176
