Winnie and Japheth had the same amount of money at first. After Winnie spent $193 on a wallet and Japheth received $51 from his uncle, Japheth had 5 times as much as money as Winnie. How much money did Winnie have at first?
| |
Winnie |
Japheth |
| Before |
1 u + $193 |
5 u - $51 |
| Change |
- $193 |
+ $51 |
| After |
1 u |
5 u |
Winnie and Japheth had the same amount of money at first.
5 u - 51 = 1 u + 193
5 u - 1 u = 193 + 51
4 u = 244
1 u = 244 ÷ 4 = 61
Amount that Winnie had at first
= 1 u + 193
= 61 + 193
= $254
Answer(s): $254
