Question

James had $240 more than his brother,Sam,at first.After their mother gave James $30 and Sam $50,James had twice as much money as Sam.How much money did Sam have at first?​

Answer 1

Sam had 85$

James has 240+30=270 then 270/2 is 135

And because mom gave 50$ to sam subtract 50 135-50= 85 so sam had at first 85$
