Question

"My new phone cost a fortune,"said Amy. " Mine costs twice as much," said Jill. If together, the two phones cost $575.25, how much was each girl's phone?

Answer 1

Cost of Amy's Phone= $191.75

Cost of Jill's phone = $191.75*2= $383.5

Explanation:

let Amy's phone cost be A

Jill's phone cost = 2A

A/Q-

A +2A = $575.25

3A= $575.25

A=$575.25/3

A= $191.75

then,

Cost of Amy's Phone= $191.75

Cost of Jill's phone= $191.75*2= $383.5
