Yen and Julian had the same amount of money at first. After Yen spent $113 on a wallet and Julian received $88 from his father, Julian had 4 times as much as money as Yen. How much money did Yen have at first?
| |
Yen |
Julian |
| Before |
1 u + $113 |
4 u - $88 |
| Change |
- $113 |
+ $88 |
| After |
1 u |
4 u |
Yen and Julian had the same amount of money at first.
4 u - 88 = 1 u + 113
4 u - 1 u = 113 + 88
3 u = 201
1 u = 201 ÷ 3 = 67
Amount that Yen had at first
= 1 u + 113
= 67 + 113
= $180
Answer(s): $180
