After |
1 u |
1 u + 13 + 35 = 1 u + 48 |
At first, Vaidev had $22 more than Natalie. After giving to Natalie, he had $48 less than Natalie. This means he gave Natalie more than $22.
Additional amount that Vaidev gave to Natalie
= (48 - 22) ÷ 2
= 26 ÷ 2
= $13
Total amount that Vaidev gave to Natalie
= 13 + 22
= $35
Answer(s): $35
