1 u + 13
|
Change |

+ 41 |
After |
1 u |
1 u + 13 + 41 = 1 u + 54 |
At first, Valen had $28 more than Irene. After giving to Irene, he had $54 less than Irene. This means he gave Irene more than $28.
Additional amount that Valen gave to Irene
= (54 - 28) ÷ 2
= 26 ÷ 2
= $13
Total amount that Valen gave to Irene
= 13 + 28
= $41
