|
Henry |
Yen |
Before |
1 u + 44 + 11 = 1 u + 55 |
1 u + 44
|
Change |
- 55 |
+ 55 |
After |
1 u |
1 u + 44 + 55 = 1 u + 99 |
At first, Henry had $11 more than Yen. After giving to Yen, he had $99 less than Yen. This means he gave Yen more than $11.
Additional amount that Henry gave to Yen
= (99 - 11) ÷ 2
= 88 ÷ 2
= $44
Total amount that Henry gave to Yen
= 44 + 11
= $55
Answer(s): $55
