Will |
Shannon |
Before |
1 u + 11 + 22 = 1 u + 33 |
1 u + 11
|
Change |
- 33 |
+ 33 |
After |
1 u |
1 u + 11 + 33 = 1 u + 44 |
At first, Will had $22 more than Shannon. After giving to Shannon, he had $44 less than Shannon. This means he gave Shannon more than $22.
Additional amount that Will gave to Shannon
= (44 - 22) ÷ 2
= 22 ÷ 2
= $11
Total amount that Will gave to Shannon
= 11 + 22
= $33
Answer(s): $33
