Tammy and Sam had the same amount of money at first. After Tammy spent $8 on a wallet and Sam received $92 from his father, Sam had 5 times as much as money as Tammy. How much money did Tammy have at first?
| |
Tammy |
Sam |
| Before |
1 u + $8 |
5 u - $92 |
| Change |
- $8 |
+ $92 |
| After |
1 u |
5 u |
Tammy and Sam had the same amount of money at first.
5 u - 92 = 1 u + 8
5 u - 1 u = 8 + 92
4 u = 100
1 u = 100 ÷ 4 = 25
Amount that Tammy had at first
= 1 u + 8
= 25 + 8
= $33
Answer(s): $33
