Ian and Vaidev went shopping with the same amount of money. After Ian spent $66 and Vaidev spent $58, Vaidev had five times as much money left as Ian. How much money did each of them bring along for shopping?
| |
Ian |
Vaidev |
| Before |
1 u + $66 |
5 u + $58 |
| Change |
- $66 |
- $58 |
| After |
1 u |
5 u |
Ian and Vaidev brought the same amount for shopping at first.
5 u + 58 = 1 u + 66
5 u - 1 u = 66 - 58
4 u = 8
1 u = 8 ÷ 4 = 2
Amount that each of them brought along for shopping
= 1 u + 66
= 2 + 66
= $68
Answer(s): $68
