Avery had
16 as much money as Ava at first. After Avery received $254 and Ava received $64, both of them had the same amount of money. How much did Ava have at first?

Avery |
Ava |
Before |
1 u |
6 u |
Change |
+ 254 |
+ 64 |
After |
1 u + 254 |
6 u + 64 |
The amount that Avery and Ava had in the end is the same.
1 u + 254 = 6 u + 64
6 u - 1 u = 254 - 64 = 190
5 u = 190
1 u = 190 ÷ 5 = 38
Amount that Ava had at first
= 6 u
= 6 x 38
= $228
Answer(s): $228
