To solve this problem, we can make a proportion.

Since Kiara's money has a ratio of 9:7 in comparison to Tyler's, we can make the proportion as follows:

9/7=126/x, where x is Tyler's money. This can be simplified to 9=882/x, or 9x=882. Then, divide by 9 to find x, which results in x=98.

Now we know that Tyler has $98, so we just need to add 126 to 98 and get $224 all together.

Hope this helps!
