1 u + 35 + 46 = 1 u + 81 |
At first, Valen had $11 more than Cindy. After giving to Cindy, he had $81 less than Cindy. This means he gave Cindy more than $11.
Additional amount that Valen gave to Cindy
= (81 - 11) ÷ 2
= 70 ÷ 2
= $35
Total amount that Valen gave to Cindy
= 35 + 11
= $46
Answer(s): $46
