1 u + 17 + 46 = 1 u + 63 |
At first, Asher had $29 more than Ivory. After giving to Ivory, he had $63 less than Ivory. This means he gave Ivory more than $29.
Additional amount that Asher gave to Ivory
= (63 - 29) ÷ 2
= 34 ÷ 2
= $17
Total amount that Asher gave to Ivory
= 17 + 29
= $46
Answer(s): $46
