| |
Dana |
Warren |
| Before |
1 u + $29 |
5 u - $75 |
| Change |
- $29 |
+ $75 |
| After |
1 u |
5 u |
Dana and Warren had the same amount of money at first.
5 u - 75 = 1 u + 29
5 u - 1 u = 29 + 75
4 u = 104
1 u = 104 ÷ 4 = 26
Amount that Dana had at first
= 1 u + 29
= 26 + 29
= $55
Answer(s): $55
