Zane and Flynn went shopping with the same amount of money. After Zane spent $69 and Flynn spent $25, Flynn had five times as much money left as Zane. How much money did each of them bring along for shopping?
| |
Zane |
Flynn |
| Before |
1 u + $69 |
5 u + $25 |
| Change |
- $69 |
- $25 |
| After |
1 u |
5 u |
Zane and Flynn brought the same amount for shopping at first.
5 u + 25 = 1 u + 69
5 u - 1 u = 69 - 25
4 u = 44
1 u = 44 ÷ 4 = 11
Amount that each of them brought along for shopping
= 1 u + 69
= 11 + 69
= $80
Answer(s): $80
