Andy and Sam went shopping with the same amount of money. After Andy spent $60 and Sam spent $32, Sam had five times as much money left as Andy. How much money did each of them bring along for shopping?
| |
Andy |
Sam |
| Before |
1 u + $60 |
5 u + $32 |
| Change |
- $60 |
- $32 |
| After |
1 u |
5 u |
Andy and Sam brought the same amount for shopping at first.
5 u + 32 = 1 u + 60
5 u - 1 u = 60 - 32
4 u = 28
1 u = 28 ÷ 4 = 7
Amount that each of them brought along for shopping
= 1 u + 60
= 7 + 60
= $67
Answer(s): $67
