Gabby |
Gabriel |
| Before |
1 u + $321 |
5 u - $19 |
| Change |
- $321 |
+ $19 |
| After |
1 u |
5 u |
Gabby and Gabriel had the same amount of money at first.
5 u - 19 = 1 u + 321
5 u - 1 u = 321 + 19
4 u = 340
1 u = 340 ÷ 4 = 85
Amount that Gabby had at first
= 1 u + 321
= 85 + 321
= $406
Answer(s): $406
