Aaron had
16 as much money as Dylan at first. After Aaron received $261 and Dylan received $71, both of them had the same amount of money. How much did Dylan have at first?

Aaron |
Dylan |
Before |
1 u |
6 u |
Change |
+ 261 |
+ 71 |
After |
1 u + 261 |
6 u + 71 |
The amount that Aaron and Dylan had in the end is the same.
1 u + 261 = 6 u + 71
6 u - 1 u = 261 - 71 = 190
5 u = 190
1 u = 190 ÷ 5 = 38
Amount that Dylan had at first
= 6 u
= 6 x 38
= $228
Answer(s): $228
