Jayden had
14 as much money as Noah at first. After Jayden received $195 and Noah received $60, both of them had the same amount of money. How much did Noah have at first?

Jayden |
Noah |
Before |
1 u |
4 u |
Change |
+ 195 |
+ 60 |
After |
1 u + 195 |
4 u + 60 |
The amount that Jayden and Noah had in the end is the same.
1 u + 195 = 4 u + 60
4 u - 1 u = 195 - 60 = 135
3 u = 135
1 u = 135 ÷ 3 = 45
Amount that Noah had at first
= 4 u
= 4 x 45
= $180
Answer(s): $180
