Christian had
14 as much money as Mia at first. After Christian received $254 and Mia received $77, both of them had the same amount of money. How much did Mia have at first?
|
Christian |
Mia |
Before |
1 u |
4 u |
Change |
+ 254 |
+ 77 |
After |
1 u + 254 |
4 u + 77 |
The amount that Christian and Mia had in the end is the same.
1 u + 254 = 4 u + 77
4 u - 1 u = 254 - 77 = 177
3 u = 177
1 u = 177 ÷ 3 = 59
Amount that Mia had at first
= 4 u
= 4 x 59
= $236
Answer(s): $236
