1 u + 32 + 61 = 1 u + 93 |
At first, Xavier had $29 more than Wendy. After giving to Wendy, he had $93 less than Wendy. This means he gave Wendy more than $29.
Additional amount that Xavier gave to Wendy
= (93 - 29) ÷ 2
= 64 ÷ 2
= $32
Total amount that Xavier gave to Wendy
= 32 + 29
= $61
Answer(s): $61
