Risa had
16 as much money as Liam at first. After Risa received $329 and Liam received $64, both of them had the same amount of money. How much did Liam have at first?

Risa |
Liam |
Before |
1 u |
6 u |
Change |
+ 329 |
+ 64 |
After |
1 u + 329 |
6 u + 64 |
The amount that Risa and Liam had in the end is the same.
1 u + 329 = 6 u + 64
6 u - 1 u = 329 - 64 = 265
5 u = 265
1 u = 265 ÷ 5 = 53
Amount that Liam had at first
= 6 u
= 6 x 53
= $318
Answer(s): $318
