Rachel had
15 as much money as Chloe at first. After Rachel received $347 and Chloe received $67, both of them had the same amount of money. How much did Chloe have at first?
|
Rachel |
Chloe |
Before |
1 u |
5 u |
Change |
+ 347 |
+ 67 |
After |
1 u + 347 |
5 u + 67 |
The amount that Rachel and Chloe had in the end is the same.
1 u + 347 = 5 u + 67
5 u - 1 u = 347 - 67 = 280
4 u = 280
1 u = 280 ÷ 4 = 70
Amount that Chloe had at first
= 5 u
= 5 x 70
= $350
Answer(s): $350
