Answer to Question #170185 in Statistics and Probability for Elo constant

Question

Akoshia has more money than komley . If Akoshia gave komley ¢ 22, Akoshia would then have twice as much as komley. How much does each one actually have?

Answer 1

Let Akoshia has ¢$x.$ Komley has ¢$y,$ $x>y.$

$$x-20=y+20$$

$$x+22=2(y-22)$$

Then

$$x=y+40$$

$$y+40+22=2y-44$$

$y=106$

$x=146$

Akoshia has ¢146, Komley has ¢106.
