1 u + 22

+ 52 |
After |
1 u |
1 u + 22 + 52 = 1 u + 74 |
At first, Jeremy had $30 more than Risa. After giving to Risa, he had $74 less than Risa. This means he gave Risa more than $30.
Additional amount that Jeremy gave to Risa
= (74 - 30) ÷ 2
= 44 ÷ 2
= $22
Total amount that Jeremy gave to Risa
= 22 + 30
= $52
Answer(s): $52
