Sabrina |
Liam |
| Before |
1 u + $149 |
4 u - $34 |
| Change |
- $149 |
+ $34 |
| After |
1 u |
4 u |
Sabrina and Liam had the same amount of money at first.
4 u - 34 = 1 u + 149
4 u - 1 u = 149 + 34
3 u = 183
1 u = 183 ÷ 3 = 61
Amount that Sabrina had at first
= 1 u + 149
= 61 + 149
= $210
Answer(s): $210
