Question

Lisa and conner had $360 altogether. After Connor gave Lisa 40% of his money, she had the same amount of money as he did. How much money did Conner have in the beginning?

Answer 1

Conner had 225 in the beginning

Explanation:

Let lisa's money be L

and Conots money be C

C+L= 360----------------1

Connor gave Lisa 40% of his money,

L= 0.4C+L

C= 0.6C

L=0.4C+L=C

C=0.4C+L---------------2 she had the same amount of money as he did

C-0.4C=L

`0.6C=L

Put L=0.6C in eqn 1

C+0.6C= 360

1.6C= 360

C= 360/1.6

C=225

C+L= 360----------------1

225+L=360

L= 360-225

L= 135
