Answer:

$100, $140

Step-by-step explanation:


\sf \rightarrow (1)/(2) |x-120| = 10


\sf \rightarrow |x-120| = 2(10)


\sf \rightarrow |x-120| = 20


\sf \rightarrow x-120 = \pm 20


\sf \rightarrow x-120 = 20 \quad or \quad x - 120 = -20


\sf \rightarrow x= 20+120 \quad or \quad x = -20+120


\sf \rightarrow x= 140\quad or \quad x = 100

Hence, the least amount is $100 and greatest amount is $140.
