Answer:

The amount Nat gives to Jon is £1.2

Explanation:

The initial amount of money Jon has = 52 p

The initial amount of money Nat has = £2.92

Given that 100 p = £1, and £0.01 = 1 p we have

The total amount of money both Nat and Jon has = £2.92 + 52 p = £3.44

Dividing the total amount by 2 so that each as the same amount of money gives;

£3.44/2 = £1.72

Therefore, the amount Nat gives to Jon, A, is the difference between the initial amount that Nat has and £1.72 which is given as follows;

A = £2.92 - £1.72 = £1.2

The amount Nat gives to Jon = A = £1.2.
