1 u + 30 + 11 = 1 u + 41 |
1 u + 30

+ 41 |
After |
1 u |
1 u + 30 + 41 = 1 u + 71 |
At first, Fabian had $11 more than Tina. After giving to Tina, he had $71 less than Tina. This means he gave Tina more than $11.
Additional amount that Fabian gave to Tina
= (71 - 11) ÷ 2
= 60 ÷ 2
= $30
Total amount that Fabian gave to Tina
= 30 + 11
= $41
Answer(s): $41
