Salik had
16 as much money as Anna at first. After Salik received $277 and Anna received $72, both of them had the same amount of money. How much did Anna have at first?

Salik |
Anna |
Before |
1 u |
6 u |
Change |
+ 277 |
+ 72 |
After |
1 u + 277 |
6 u + 72 |
The amount that Salik and Anna had in the end is the same.
1 u + 277 = 6 u + 72
6 u - 1 u = 277 - 72 = 205
5 u = 205
1 u = 205 ÷ 5 = 41
Amount that Anna had at first
= 6 u
= 6 x 41
= $246
Answer(s): $246
