Tim and Riordan went shopping with the same amount of money. After Tim spent $136 and Riordan spent $96, Riordan had five times as much money left as Tim. How much money did each of them bring along for shopping?

Tim |
Riordan |
| Before |
1 u + $136 |
5 u + $96 |
| Change |
- $136 |
- $96 |
| After |
1 u |
5 u |
Tim and Riordan brought the same amount for shopping at first.
5 u + 96 = 1 u + 136
5 u - 1 u = 136 - 96
4 u = 40
1 u = 40 ÷ 4 = 10
Amount that each of them brought along for shopping
= 1 u + 136
= 10 + 136
= $146
Answer(s): $146
