Nick and Warren went shopping with the same amount of money. After Nick spent $84 and Warren spent $76, Warren had three times as much money left as Nick. How much money did each of them bring along for shopping?
| |
Nick |
Warren |
| Before |
1 u + $84 |
3 u + $76 |
| Change |
- $84 |
- $76 |
| After |
1 u |
3 u |
Nick and Warren brought the same amount for shopping at first.
3 u + 76 = 1 u + 84
3 u - 1 u = 84 - 76
2 u = 8
1 u = 8 ÷ 2 = 4
Amount that each of them brought along for shopping
= 1 u + 84
= 4 + 84
= $88
Answer(s): $88
