1 u + 20 + 33 = 1 u + 53 |
At first, Vincent had $13 more than Pamela. After giving to Pamela, he had $53 less than Pamela. This means he gave Pamela more than $13.
Additional amount that Vincent gave to Pamela
= (53 - 13) ÷ 2
= 40 ÷ 2
= $20
Total amount that Vincent gave to Pamela
= 20 + 13
= $33
Answer(s): $33
