Nick |
Ryan |
More |
| Before |
8 u + $66.90 |
8 u |
$66.90 |
| Change |
|
- 3 u |
|
| After |
8 u + $66.90 |
5 u |
3 u + $66.90 |
Nick had $82.50 more than Ryan in the end.
8 u + 66.90 - 5 u = 82.50
3 u + 66.90 = 82.50
3 u = 82.50 - 66.90
3 u = 15.60
1 u = 15.60 ÷ 3 = 5.20
Amount that Nick had at first
= 8 u + 66.90
= 8 x 5.20 + 66.90
= 41.60 + 66.90
= $108.50
Answer(s): $108.50
