Vaidev and Jenson went shopping with the same amount of money. After Vaidev spent $91 and Jenson spent $69, Jenson had three times as much money left as Vaidev. How much money did each of them bring along for shopping?
| |
Vaidev |
Jenson |
| Before |
1 u + $91 |
3 u + $69 |
| Change |
- $91 |
- $69 |
| After |
1 u |
3 u |
Vaidev and Jenson brought the same amount for shopping at first.
3 u + 69 = 1 u + 91
3 u - 1 u = 91 - 69
2 u = 22
1 u = 22 ÷ 2 = 11
Amount that each of them brought along for shopping
= 1 u + 91
= 11 + 91
= $102
Answer(s): $102
