Winnie and Sam had the same amount of money at first. After Winnie spent $84 on a wallet and Sam received $48 from his aunt, Sam had 4 times as much as money as Winnie. How much money did Winnie have at first?
|
Winnie |
Sam |
Before |
1 u + $84 |
4 u - $48 |
Change |
- $84 |
+ $48 |
After |
1 u |
4 u |
Winnie and Sam had the same amount of money at first.
4 u - 48 = 1 u + 84
4 u - 1 u = 84 + 48
3 u = 132
1 u = 132 ÷ 3 = 44
Amount that Winnie had at first
= 1 u + 84
= 44 + 84
= $128
Answer(s): $128
