Glen and Zane went shopping with the same amount of money. After Glen spent $92 and Zane spent $59, Zane had four times as much money left as Glen. How much money did each of them bring along for shopping?
| |
Glen |
Zane |
| Before |
1 u + $92 |
4 u + $59 |
| Change |
- $92 |
- $59 |
| After |
1 u |
4 u |
Glen and Zane brought the same amount for shopping at first.
4 u + 59 = 1 u + 92
4 u - 1 u = 92 - 59
3 u = 33
1 u = 33 ÷ 3 = 11
Amount that each of them brought along for shopping
= 1 u + 92
= 11 + 92
= $103
Answer(s): $103
