Question

Maria and Andrew sold drinks from a lemonade stand in the summer. Because Maria built the stand they agreed that she should get twice as much of the profit as Andrew. If they made $187.41 profit how much money did Maria make?

Answer 1

Maria made = $124.94

hope it helps

Explanation:

if they made $187.41 and maria is getting twice a much as Andrew you'll divide 187.41 by 3 because maria is getting twice as more

187.41 ÷ 3 = 62.47

Andrew = 62.47

Maria = 62.47 x 2 = 124.94

to check your answer by adding 124.94 and 62.47 and should equal to the money made in total

124.94 + 62.47 = 187.41
