Owen had
13 as much money as Michael at first. After Owen received $306 and Michael received $92, both of them had the same amount of money. How much did Michael have at first?
|
Owen |
Michael |
Before |
1 u |
3 u |
Change |
+ 306 |
+ 92 |
After |
1 u + 306 |
3 u + 92 |
The amount that Owen and Michael had in the end is the same.
1 u + 306 = 3 u + 92
3 u - 1 u = 306 - 92 = 214
2 u = 214
1 u = 214 ÷ 2 = 107
Amount that Michael had at first
= 3 u
= 3 x 107
= $321
Answer(s): $321
