+ 44 |
After |
1 u |
1 u + 26 + 44 = 1 u + 70 |
At first, Reggie had $18 more than Tina. After giving to Tina, he had $70 less than Tina. This means he gave Tina more than $18.
Additional amount that Reggie gave to Tina
= (70 - 18) ÷ 2
= 52 ÷ 2
= $26
Total amount that Reggie gave to Tina
= 26 + 18
= $44
Answer(s): $44
