1 u + 38
|
Change |
- 54 |
+ 54 |
After |
1 u |
1 u + 38 + 54 = 1 u + 92 |
At first, Zane had $16 more than Betty. After giving to Betty, he had $92 less than Betty. This means he gave Betty more than $16.
Additional amount that Zane gave to Betty
= (92 - 16) ÷ 2
= 76 ÷ 2
= $38
Total amount that Zane gave to Betty
= 38 + 16
= $54
Answer(s): $54
