1 u + 28

After |
1 u |
1 u + 28 + 48 = 1 u + 76 |
At first, Seth had $20 more than Zara. After giving to Zara, he had $76 less than Zara. This means he gave Zara more than $20.
Additional amount that Seth gave to Zara
= (76 - 20) ÷ 2
= 56 ÷ 2
= $28
Total amount that Seth gave to Zara
= 28 + 20
= $48
Answer(s): $48
