Vaidev and Dylan had $2014 altogether. After Vaidev spent
15 of his money and Dylan spent
67 of his money, Vaidev was left with five times as much money as Dylan. How much money did Dylan have at first?

Total |
| Before |
5x5 =
25 u |
7x4 =
28 u |
$2014 |
| Change |
- 1x5 =
- 5 u |
- 6x4 =
- 24 u |
|
| After |
4x5 =
20 u |
1x4 =
4 u |
|
Comparing Vaidev
and Dylan in the end |
5x4 =
20 u |
1x4 =
4 u |
|
The amount that Vaidev had in the end is repeated. Make the amount that Vaidev had in the end the same. LCM of 4 and 5 is 20.
Total amount that Vaidev and Dylan had at first
= 25 u + 28 u
= 53 u
53 u = 2014
1 u = 2014 ÷ 53 = 38
Amount that Dylan had at first
= 28 u
= 28 x 38
= $1064
Answer(s): $1064
