After |
1 u |
1 u + 21 + 45 = 1 u + 66 |
At first, Vincent had $24 more than Winnie. After giving to Winnie, he had $66 less than Winnie. This means he gave Winnie more than $24.
Additional amount that Vincent gave to Winnie
= (66 - 24) ÷ 2
= 42 ÷ 2
= $21
Total amount that Vincent gave to Winnie
= 21 + 24
= $45
Answer(s): $45
