Answer:

40

Explanation:

the the answer is 40 because if you do 40 * 3 to get 120 and if you minus 20 then you get a hundred in a hundred divided by 2 equals 50

what you do is you do 50 * 2 but you got to 100 then you add 20 which gives 220 then you รท by 3

The final amount of money was $50, they spent half of what they collected on canned foods, so 50 x 2 = 100.

They collected a total of $100.

Let the amount Eric collected = X

Charlotte collected 3 times as much minus $20, writing this as an equation you get 3x-20.

Now you have Eric plus Charlotte = $100:

x + 3x-20 = 100

Combine like terms:

4x-20 = 100

Add 20 to both sides:

4x = 120

Divide both sides by 4:

x = 120/4

x = 30

Eric = X = $30

Charlotte = 3x-20 = 3(30) - 20 = 90 -20 = $70
