+ 52 |
After |
1 u |
1 u + 28 + 52 = 1 u + 80 |
At first, Albert had $24 more than Cathy. After giving to Cathy, he had $80 less than Cathy. This means he gave Cathy more than $24.
Additional amount that Albert gave to Cathy
= (80 - 24) ÷ 2
= 56 ÷ 2
= $28
Total amount that Albert gave to Cathy
= 28 + 24
= $52
Answer(s): $52
