Question

*Tom and Bob are brothers and they each had the same amount of money which they put together to buy a toy. The cost of the toy was $22. If the cashier gave them a change of 6$, how much money did each have?*

Answer 1

See below.

Explanation:

So, we need to find how much money each boy had. They had to pay 22, but was given 6 back. So they paid 6 bucks extra.

22+6=28

There are two boys, so divide the amount that was paid by 2.

28/2=14

So, each boy paid 14 dollars.
