| Before |
7 u + $59.10 |
7 u |
$59.10 |
| Change |
|
- 2 u |
|
| After |
7 u + $59.10 |
5 u |
2 u + $59.10 |
Glen had $66.70 more than Bryan in the end.
7 u + 59.10 - 5 u = 66.70
2 u + 59.10 = 66.70
2 u = 66.70 - 59.10
2 u = 7.60
1 u = 7.60 ÷ 2 = 3.80
Amount that Glen had at first
= 7 u + 59.10
= 7 x 3.80 + 59.10
= 26.60 + 59.10
= $85.70
Answer(s): $85.70
