1 u + 18 + 43 = 1 u + 61 |
At first, Flynn had $25 more than Victoria. After giving to Victoria, he had $61 less than Victoria. This means he gave Victoria more than $25.
Additional amount that Flynn gave to Victoria
= (61 - 25) ÷ 2
= 36 ÷ 2
= $18
Total amount that Flynn gave to Victoria
= 18 + 25
= $43
Answer(s): $43
