Fanny and Sabrina had the same amount of money at first. After Fanny gave $300 to her nephew, Sabrina had 6 times as much money as Fanny. How much did Fanny have in the end?

| After |

6 u |
The amount that Sabrina had at first and in the end remains unchanged. Make the amount that Sabrina had the same. LCM of 1 and 6 is 6.
Amount that Fanny gave to her nephew
= 6 u - 1 u
= 5 u
5 u = 300
1 u = 300 ÷ 5 = 60
Amount that Fanny had in the end
= 1 u
= $300
Answer(s): $300
