1 u + 23

Change |

+ 38 |
After |
1 u |
1 u + 23 + 38 = 1 u + 61 |
At first, Cody had $15 more than Yen. After giving to Yen, he had $61 less than Yen. This means he gave Yen more than $15.
Additional amount that Cody gave to Yen
= (61 - 15) ÷ 2
= 46 ÷ 2
= $23
Total amount that Cody gave to Yen
= 23 + 15
= $38
Answer(s): $38
