| |
Xandra |
Harry |
| Before |
1 u + $122 |
5 u - $50 |
| Change |
- $122 |
+ $50 |
| After |
1 u |
5 u |
Xandra and Harry had the same amount of money at first.
5 u - 50 = 1 u + 122
5 u - 1 u = 122 + 50
4 u = 172
1 u = 172 ÷ 4 = 43
Amount that Xandra had at first
= 1 u + 122
= 43 + 122
= $165
Answer(s): $165
