Reggie |
Abi |
Before |
1 u + 26 + 11 = 1 u + 37 |
1 u + 26
|
Change |
- 37 |
+ 37 |
After |
1 u |
1 u + 26 + 37 = 1 u + 63 |
At first, Reggie had $11 more than Abi. After giving to Abi, he had $63 less than Abi. This means he gave Abi more than $11.
Additional amount that Reggie gave to Abi
= (63 - 11) ÷ 2
= 52 ÷ 2
= $26
Total amount that Reggie gave to Abi
= 26 + 11
= $37
Answer(s): $37
