Yoko and Brandon had the same amount of money at first. After Yoko spent $116 on a wallet and Brandon received $64 from his uncle, Brandon had 5 times as much as money as Yoko. How much money did Yoko have at first?
| |
Yoko |
Brandon |
| Before |
1 u + $116 |
5 u - $64 |
| Change |
- $116 |
+ $64 |
| After |
1 u |
5 u |
Yoko and Brandon had the same amount of money at first.
5 u - 64 = 1 u + 116
5 u - 1 u = 116 + 64
4 u = 180
1 u = 180 ÷ 4 = 45
Amount that Yoko had at first
= 1 u + 116
= 45 + 116
= $161
Answer(s): $161
