Justin and Daniel went shopping with the same amount of money. After Justin spent $63 and Daniel spent $59, Daniel had three times as much money left as Justin. How much money did each of them bring along for shopping?
| |
Justin |
Daniel |
| Before |
1 u + $63 |
3 u + $59 |
| Change |
- $63 |
- $59 |
| After |
1 u |
3 u |
Justin and Daniel brought the same amount for shopping at first.
3 u + 59 = 1 u + 63
3 u - 1 u = 63 - 59
2 u = 4
1 u = 4 ÷ 2 = 2
Amount that each of them brought along for shopping
= 1 u + 63
= 2 + 63
= $65
Answer(s): $65
