Isabella had
13 as much money as Hannah at first. After Isabella received $201 and Hannah received $99, both of them had the same amount of money. How much did Hannah have at first?

Isabella |
Hannah |
| Before |
1 u |
3 u |
| Change |
+ 201 |
+ 99 |
| After |
1 u + 201 |
3 u + 99 |
The amount that Isabella and Hannah had in the end is the same.
1 u + 201 = 3 u + 99
3 u - 1 u = 201 - 99 = 102
2 u = 102
1 u = 102 ÷ 2 = 51
Amount that Hannah had at first
= 3 u
= 3 x 51
= $153
Answer(s): $153
