Before |
6 u + 20 |
1 u + 80 |
Change |
- 20 |
- 80 |
After |
6 u |
1 u |
(a)
At first
Amount that Bryan has = Amount that Adam has
6 u + 20 = 1 u + 80
6 u - 1 u = 80 - 20
5 u = 60
1 u = 60 ÷ 5 = 12
Amount that each of them has at first
= 1 u + 80
= 12 + 80
= $92
(b)
Amount that Adam has less than Bryan in the end
= 6 u - 1 u
= 5 u
= 5 x 12
= $60
Answer(s): (a) $92; (b) $60
