Isaiah had
14 as much money as Zoey at first. After Isaiah received $167 and Zoey received $89, both of them had the same amount of money. How much did Zoey have at first?

Isaiah |
Zoey |
| Before |
1 u |
4 u |
| Change |
+ 167 |
+ 89 |
| After |
1 u + 167 |
4 u + 89 |
The amount that Isaiah and Zoey had in the end is the same.
1 u + 167 = 4 u + 89
4 u - 1 u = 167 - 89 = 78
3 u = 78
1 u = 78 ÷ 3 = 26
Amount that Zoey had at first
= 4 u
= 4 x 26
= $104
Answer(s): $104
