1 u + 22 + 32 = 1 u + 54 |
At first, John had $10 more than Marion. After giving to Marion, he had $54 less than Marion. This means he gave Marion more than $10.
Additional amount that John gave to Marion
= (54 - 10) ÷ 2
= 44 ÷ 2
= $22
Total amount that John gave to Marion
= 22 + 10
= $32
Answer(s): $32
