Will and Ivan went shopping with the same amount of money. After Will spent $92 and Ivan spent $80, Ivan had three times as much money left as Will. How much money did each of them bring along for shopping?
| |
Will |
Ivan |
| Before |
1 u + $92 |
3 u + $80 |
| Change |
- $92 |
- $80 |
| After |
1 u |
3 u |
Will and Ivan brought the same amount for shopping at first.
3 u + 80 = 1 u + 92
3 u - 1 u = 92 - 80
2 u = 12
1 u = 12 ÷ 2 = 6
Amount that each of them brought along for shopping
= 1 u + 92
= 6 + 92
= $98
Answer(s): $98
