| Before |
7 u + $71.10 |
7 u |

| Change |
|
- 6 u |
|
| After |
7 u + $71.10 |
1 u |
6 u + $71.10 |
Asher had $155.70 more than Oscar in the end.
7 u + 71.10 - 1 u = 155.70
6 u + 71.10 = 155.70
6 u = 155.70 - 71.10
6 u = 84.60
1 u = 84.60 ÷ 6 = 14.10
Amount that Asher had at first
= 7 u + 71.10
= 7 x 14.10 + 71.10
= 98.70 + 71.10
= $169.80
Answer(s): $169.80
