Tracy and Crystal go to vacations

Question

Crystal had more money than Tracy when they left for vacations. After crystal spent 3/8 of her money and tracy spent 32$, they each had the same amount of money left. If they had a total amount of $422 when they started how much money

did tracy have after vacations?

Answer 1

5/8*C = T-32 ---> T = 5/8*C + 32

C +T = 422

C + (5/8)C + 32 = 422

(13/8)C + 32 = 422

(13/8)C = 390

C = 390*8/13 = 240

T = 422 - 240 = 182

5/8*240 = 150 = 182 - 32

Crystal 240

Tracy 182
