Zoey had
13 as much money as Noah at first. After Zoey received $348 and Noah received $92, both of them had the same amount of money. How much did Noah have at first?

Zoey |
Noah |
| Before |
1 u |
3 u |
| Change |
+ 348 |
+ 92 |
| After |
1 u + 348 |
3 u + 92 |
The amount that Zoey and Noah had in the end is the same.
1 u + 348 = 3 u + 92
3 u - 1 u = 348 - 92 = 256
2 u = 256
1 u = 256 ÷ 2 = 128
Amount that Noah had at first
= 3 u
= 3 x 128
= $384
Answer(s): $384
