Nora and Glen had the same amount of money at first. After Nora spent $259 on a wallet and Glen received $17 from his uncle, Glen had 4 times as much as money as Nora. How much money did Nora have at first?
| |
Nora |
Glen |
| Before |
1 u + $259 |
4 u - $17 |
| Change |
- $259 |
+ $17 |
| After |
1 u |
4 u |
Nora and Glen had the same amount of money at first.
4 u - 17 = 1 u + 259
4 u - 1 u = 259 + 17
3 u = 276
1 u = 276 ÷ 3 = 92
Amount that Nora had at first
= 1 u + 259
= 92 + 259
= $351
Answer(s): $351
