1 u + 33
|
Change |

After |
1 u |
1 u + 33 + 53 = 1 u + 86 |
At first, Ahmad had $20 more than Usha. After giving to Usha, he had $86 less than Usha. This means he gave Usha more than $20.
Additional amount that Ahmad gave to Usha
= (86 - 20) ÷ 2
= 66 ÷ 2
= $33
Total amount that Ahmad gave to Usha
= 33 + 20
= $53
Answer(s): $53
