1 u + 35
|
Change |

+ 50 |
After |
1 u |
1 u + 35 + 50 = 1 u + 85 |
At first, Oscar had $15 more than Nicole. After giving to Nicole, he had $85 less than Nicole. This means he gave Nicole more than $15.
Additional amount that Oscar gave to Nicole
= (85 - 15) ÷ 2
= 70 ÷ 2
= $35
Total amount that Oscar gave to Nicole
= 35 + 15
= $50
Answer(s): $50
