Question

Together, Lucia and Ben have saved $150. Lucia saved $2 for every $1 Ben saved. How much money did each person save?

Answer 1

Answer: Ben saved $50 and Lucia saved $100

Explanation:

For every $1 that Ben earns Lucia earns $2.
This means that she earns double his amount.

The total that they both earned all together was $150 so since Lucia had double his amount then she earned $100. 100+50=150

Answer 2

Lucia saved 100 dollars and Ben saved 50 dollars
