Aubrey had
13 as much money as Grace at first. After Aubrey received $291 and Grace received $95, both of them had the same amount of money. How much did Grace have at first?

Aubrey |
Grace |
| Before |
1 u |
3 u |
| Change |
+ 291 |
+ 95 |
| After |
1 u + 291 |
3 u + 95 |
The amount that Aubrey and Grace had in the end is the same.
1 u + 291 = 3 u + 95
3 u - 1 u = 291 - 95 = 196
2 u = 196
1 u = 196 ÷ 2 = 98
Amount that Grace had at first
= 3 u
= 3 x 98
= $294
Answer(s): $294
