Julian and Ryan went shopping with the same amount of money. After Julian spent $75 and Ryan spent $35, Ryan had five times as much money left as Julian. How much money did each of them bring along for shopping?
| |
Julian |
Ryan |
| Before |
1 u + $75 |
5 u + $35 |
| Change |
- $75 |
- $35 |
| After |
1 u |
5 u |
Julian and Ryan brought the same amount for shopping at first.
5 u + 35 = 1 u + 75
5 u - 1 u = 75 - 35
4 u = 40
1 u = 40 ÷ 4 = 10
Amount that each of them brought along for shopping
= 1 u + 75
= 10 + 75
= $85
Answer(s): $85
