m+r = 338
m+49 = r/2
m+49 = (338-m)/2
m = 80
check:
Minah had $80 and Rohana had $258
Later,
Minah had 80+49 = $129
and
Rohana had 258/2 = $129
Minah and rohana had a total of $338 at first. After minah’s mother gave her another $49 and rohana spent half of her money, they both had the same amount of money. How much did Minah have at first?
