PSLE Zeph had $14 more than Abi at first. After Zeph gave some of his money to Abi, he had $92 less than Abi. How much money did Zeph give to Abi?
|
Zeph |
Abi |
Before |
1 u + 39 + 14 = 1 u + 53 |
1 u + 39
|
Change |
- 53 |
+ 53 |
After |
1 u |
1 u + 39 + 53 = 1 u + 92 |
At first, Zeph had $14 more than Abi. After giving to Abi, he had $92 less than Abi. This means he gave Abi more than $14.
Additional amount that Zeph gave to Abi
= (92 - 14) ÷ 2
= 78 ÷ 2
= $39
Total amount that Zeph gave to Abi
= 39 + 14
= $53
Answer(s): $53
