Oliver and Dylan went shopping with the same amount of money. After Oliver spent $93 and Dylan spent $77, Dylan had five times as much money left as Oliver. How much money did each of them bring along for shopping?
|
Oliver |
Dylan |
Before |
1 u + $93 |
5 u + $77 |
Change |
- $93 |
- $77 |
After |
1 u |
5 u |
Oliver and Dylan brought the same amount for shopping at first.
5 u + 77 = 1 u + 93
5 u - 1 u = 93 - 77
4 u = 16
1 u = 16 ÷ 4 = 4
Amount that each of them brought along for shopping
= 1 u + 93
= 4 + 93
= $97
Answer(s): $97
