Henry and Glen went shopping with the same amount of money. After Henry spent $85 and Glen spent $49, Glen had five times as much money left as Henry. How much money did each of them bring along for shopping?
| |
Henry |
Glen |
| Before |
1 u + $85 |
5 u + $49 |
| Change |
- $85 |
- $49 |
| After |
1 u |
5 u |
Henry and Glen brought the same amount for shopping at first.
5 u + 49 = 1 u + 85
5 u - 1 u = 85 - 49
4 u = 36
1 u = 36 ÷ 4 = 9
Amount that each of them brought along for shopping
= 1 u + 85
= 9 + 85
= $94
Answer(s): $94
