Harper had
13 as much money as Hannah at first. After Harper received $171 and Hannah received $95, both of them had the same amount of money. How much did Hannah have at first?

Harper |
Hannah |
| Before |
1 u |
3 u |
| Change |
+ 171 |
+ 95 |
| After |
1 u + 171 |
3 u + 95 |
The amount that Harper and Hannah had in the end is the same.
1 u + 171 = 3 u + 95
3 u - 1 u = 171 - 95 = 76
2 u = 76
1 u = 76 ÷ 2 = 38
Amount that Hannah had at first
= 3 u
= 3 x 38
= $114
Answer(s): $114
