1 u + 26 + 15 = 1 u + 41 |
1 u + 26

+ 41 |
After |
1 u |
1 u + 26 + 41 = 1 u + 67 |
At first, Fred had $15 more than Eva. After giving to Eva, he had $67 less than Eva. This means he gave Eva more than $15.
Additional amount that Fred gave to Eva
= (67 - 15) ÷ 2
= 52 ÷ 2
= $26
Total amount that Fred gave to Eva
= 26 + 15
= $41
Answer(s): $41
