Levi had
14 as much money as Aubrey at first. After Levi received $268 and Aubrey received $88, both of them had the same amount of money. How much did Aubrey have at first?

Levi |
Aubrey |
| Before |
1 u |
4 u |
| Change |
+ 268 |
+ 88 |
| After |
1 u + 268 |
4 u + 88 |
The amount that Levi and Aubrey had in the end is the same.
1 u + 268 = 4 u + 88
4 u - 1 u = 268 - 88 = 180
3 u = 180
1 u = 180 ÷ 3 = 60
Amount that Aubrey had at first
= 4 u
= 4 x 60
= $240
Answer(s): $240
