Luis and Ryan went shopping with the same amount of money. After Luis spent $113 and Ryan spent $89, Ryan had four times as much money left as Luis. How much money did each of them bring along for shopping?
| |
Luis |
Ryan |
| Before |
1 u + $113 |
4 u + $89 |
| Change |
- $113 |
- $89 |
| After |
1 u |
4 u |
Luis and Ryan brought the same amount for shopping at first.
4 u + 89 = 1 u + 113
4 u - 1 u = 113 - 89
3 u = 24
1 u = 24 ÷ 3 = 8
Amount that each of them brought along for shopping
= 1 u + 113
= 8 + 113
= $121
Answer(s): $121
