Ian and Dylan went shopping with the same amount of money. After Ian spent $68 and Dylan spent $32, Dylan had five times as much money left as Ian. How much money did each of them bring along for shopping?
| |
Ian |
Dylan |
| Before |
1 u + $68 |
5 u + $32 |
| Change |
- $68 |
- $32 |
| After |
1 u |
5 u |
Ian and Dylan brought the same amount for shopping at first.
5 u + 32 = 1 u + 68
5 u - 1 u = 68 - 32
4 u = 36
1 u = 36 ÷ 4 = 9
Amount that each of them brought along for shopping
= 1 u + 68
= 9 + 68
= $77
Answer(s): $77
