1 u + 33

After |
1 u |
1 u + 33 + 44 = 1 u + 77 |
At first, Nick had $11 more than Usha. After giving to Usha, he had $77 less than Usha. This means he gave Usha more than $11.
Additional amount that Nick gave to Usha
= (77 - 11) ÷ 2
= 66 ÷ 2
= $33
Total amount that Nick gave to Usha
= 33 + 11
= $44
Answer(s): $44
