Wyatt had
13 as much money as Sebastian at first. After Wyatt received $350 and Sebastian received $74, both of them had the same amount of money. How much did Sebastian have at first?

Wyatt |
Sebastian |
Before |
1 u |
3 u |
Change |
+ 350 |
+ 74 |
After |
1 u + 350 |
3 u + 74 |
The amount that Wyatt and Sebastian had in the end is the same.
1 u + 350 = 3 u + 74
3 u - 1 u = 350 - 74 = 276
2 u = 276
1 u = 276 ÷ 2 = 138
Amount that Sebastian had at first
= 3 u
= 3 x 138
= $414
Answer(s): $414
