Ryan and Andy went shopping with the same amount of money. After Ryan spent $66 and Andy spent $60, Andy had four times as much money left as Ryan. How much money did each of them bring along for shopping?
| |
Ryan |
Andy |
| Before |
1 u + $66 |
4 u + $60 |
| Change |
- $66 |
- $60 |
| After |
1 u |
4 u |
Ryan and Andy brought the same amount for shopping at first.
4 u + 60 = 1 u + 66
4 u - 1 u = 66 - 60
3 u = 6
1 u = 6 ÷ 3 = 2
Amount that each of them brought along for shopping
= 1 u + 66
= 2 + 66
= $68
Answer(s): $68
