| |
Roshel |
Caden |
| Before |
1 u + $134 |
3 u - $48 |
| Change |
- $134 |
+ $48 |
| After |
1 u |
3 u |
Roshel and Caden had the same amount of money at first.
3 u - 48 = 1 u + 134
3 u - 1 u = 134 + 48
2 u = 182
1 u = 182 ÷ 2 = 91
Amount that Roshel had at first
= 1 u + 134
= 91 + 134
= $225
Answer(s): $225
