1 u + 32 + 55 = 1 u + 87 |
At first, Ethan had $23 more than Kylie. After giving to Kylie, he had $87 less than Kylie. This means he gave Kylie more than $23.
Additional amount that Ethan gave to Kylie
= (87 - 23) ÷ 2
= 64 ÷ 2
= $32
Total amount that Ethan gave to Kylie
= 32 + 23
= $55
Answer(s): $55
