Katherine and Shally had $288 altogether. Katherine gave 1/3 of her share to Shally and their father gave $68 to Shally. They now have the same amount of money. How much money did Shally have at first?
1/3 of $288 is $96 So, therefore Shally had $96 at first. But They both didn't have the same amount of money after too because: 1/3 of $288 is $96 $96 + $68 = $164 So Shally has $164
Now, $288 - $96 = $192. So Katherine has $192
So therefore they did not have the same amount of money but 1/3 of $288 is $96
