Tina and Vaidev had the same amount of money at first. After Tina spent $122 on a wallet and Vaidev received $67 from his mother, Vaidev had 4 times as much as money as Tina. How much money did Tina have at first?
| |
Tina |
Vaidev |
| Before |
1 u + $122 |
4 u - $67 |
| Change |
- $122 |
+ $67 |
| After |
1 u |
4 u |
Tina and Vaidev had the same amount of money at first.
4 u - 67 = 1 u + 122
4 u - 1 u = 122 + 67
3 u = 189
1 u = 189 ÷ 3 = 63
Amount that Tina had at first
= 1 u + 122
= 63 + 122
= $185
Answer(s): $185
