1 u + 20

Change |

After |
1 u |
1 u + 20 + 39 = 1 u + 59 |
At first, Wesley had $19 more than Eva. After giving to Eva, he had $59 less than Eva. This means he gave Eva more than $19.
Additional amount that Wesley gave to Eva
= (59 - 19) ÷ 2
= 40 ÷ 2
= $20
Total amount that Wesley gave to Eva
= 20 + 19
= $39
Answer(s): $39
