Barbara |
Before |
1 u + 30 + 11 = 1 u + 41 |
1 u + 30
|
Change |
- 41 |
+ 41 |
After |
1 u |
1 u + 30 + 41 = 1 u + 71 |
At first, Rael had $11 more than Barbara. After giving to Barbara, he had $71 less than Barbara. This means he gave Barbara more than $11.
Additional amount that Rael gave to Barbara
= (71 - 11) ÷ 2
= 60 ÷ 2
= $30
Total amount that Rael gave to Barbara
= 30 + 11
= $41
Answer(s): $41
