16 as much money as Julian at first. After Riordan received $209 and Julian received $64, both of them had the same amount of money. How much did Julian have at first?

Riordan |
Julian |
Before |
1 u |
6 u |
Change |
+ 209 |
+ 64 |
After |
1 u + 209 |
6 u + 64 |
The amount that Riordan and Julian had in the end is the same.
1 u + 209 = 6 u + 64
6 u - 1 u = 209 - 64 = 145
5 u = 145
1 u = 145 ÷ 5 = 29
Amount that Julian had at first
= 6 u
= 6 x 29
= $174
Answer(s): $174
