Violet had
14 as much money as Noah at first. After Violet received $212 and Noah received $98, both of them had the same amount of money. How much did Noah have at first?

Violet |
Noah |
| Before |
1 u |
4 u |
| Change |
+ 212 |
+ 98 |
| After |
1 u + 212 |
4 u + 98 |
The amount that Violet and Noah had in the end is the same.
1 u + 212 = 4 u + 98
4 u - 1 u = 212 - 98 = 114
3 u = 114
1 u = 114 ÷ 3 = 38
Amount that Noah had at first
= 4 u
= 4 x 38
= $152
Answer(s): $152
