Pierre and Fabian went shopping with the same amount of money. After Pierre spent $84 and Fabian spent $52, Fabian had five times as much money left as Pierre. How much money did each of them bring along for shopping?
| |
Pierre |
Fabian |
| Before |
1 u + $84 |
5 u + $52 |
| Change |
- $84 |
- $52 |
| After |
1 u |
5 u |
Pierre and Fabian brought the same amount for shopping at first.
5 u + 52 = 1 u + 84
5 u - 1 u = 84 - 52
4 u = 32
1 u = 32 ÷ 4 = 8
Amount that each of them brought along for shopping
= 1 u + 84
= 8 + 84
= $92
Answer(s): $92
