1 u + 9 + 38 = 1 u + 47 |
At first, Owen had $29 more than Nicole. After giving to Nicole, he had $47 less than Nicole. This means he gave Nicole more than $29.
Additional amount that Owen gave to Nicole
= (47 - 29) ÷ 2
= 18 ÷ 2
= $9
Total amount that Owen gave to Nicole
= 9 + 29
= $38
Answer(s): $38
