|
Vaidev |
Opal |
Before |
1 u + 32 + 22 = 1 u + 54 |
1 u + 32
|
Change |
- 54 |
+ 54 |
After |
1 u |
1 u + 32 + 54 = 1 u + 86 |
At first, Vaidev had $22 more than Opal. After giving to Opal, he had $86 less than Opal. This means he gave Opal more than $22.
Additional amount that Vaidev gave to Opal
= (86 - 22) ÷ 2
= 64 ÷ 2
= $32
Total amount that Vaidev gave to Opal
= 32 + 22
= $54
Answer(s): $54
