Question

I gave Maya and Yosief an equal amount of money. Maya spent $20 each day and Yosief spent $25 each day. When Maya had $157 left, Yosief had $82 left. How much money do I give Yosief?

Answer 1

Questioner gave Yoseif `$457`

Explanation:

Yoseif has `$82` left and Maya has been left with `$157`.

So Yoseif has `$157-$82=$75` short.

Though they started with same amount, Yoseif spends `$25-$20=$5` extra each day.

Hence it is `75/5=15` days since money was given to Yoseif.

In `15` days Yoseif spent `15xx$25=$375` and he has #$82 left.

Hence, Questioner gave Yoseif `$375+82=$457`
