Question

Carlos has $8.48 Alyssa has $4.14 how much money does Carlos need to give a little sister that each of them has the same amount of money?​

Answer 1

$2.17

Explanation:

To solve this, you first have to find the difference between how much money Carlos has and how much money Alyssa has:

8.48-4.14 = 4.34

Next you divide this difference by two. This is commonly known as splitting the difference. It is a basic way of making everyone have (or pay in some situations) the same amount.

4.34 / 2 = 2.17

To go one step farther, both Carlos and Alyssa will each have $6.31.

I hope this helps!

Answer 2
