1 u + 28 + 50 = 1 u + 78 |
At first, Sean had $22 more than Pamela. After giving to Pamela, he had $78 less than Pamela. This means he gave Pamela more than $22.
Additional amount that Sean gave to Pamela
= (78 - 22) ÷ 2
= 56 ÷ 2
= $28
Total amount that Sean gave to Pamela
= 28 + 22
= $50
Answer(s): $50
