1 u + 27 + 27 = 1 u + 54 |
1 u + 27

After |
1 u |
1 u + 27 + 54 = 1 u + 81 |
At first, Henry had $27 more than Gwen. After giving to Gwen, he had $81 less than Gwen. This means he gave Gwen more than $27.
Additional amount that Henry gave to Gwen
= (81 - 27) ÷ 2
= 54 ÷ 2
= $27
Total amount that Henry gave to Gwen
= 27 + 27
= $54
Answer(s): $54
