+ 54 |
After |
1 u |
1 u + 26 + 54 = 1 u + 80 |
At first, Cole had $28 more than Nicole. After giving to Nicole, he had $80 less than Nicole. This means he gave Nicole more than $28.
Additional amount that Cole gave to Nicole
= (80 - 28) ÷ 2
= 52 ÷ 2
= $26
Total amount that Cole gave to Nicole
= 26 + 28
= $54
Answer(s): $54
