Justin has $5.50 more than Eva, and Emma has $7 less than Justin. Together, they have a

total of $55. Write and solve an equation to determine how much Justin has.
$15.50
$17.00
$17.50
$22.50

Answer 1

D, $22.50 or $22.5

Explanation:

J=Justin

E =Emma

Ev=Eva

J= E + 5.50... E=J-5.50

Ev=J -7

J+E+Ev=55

J+J - 5.50+J-7=55

3J-5.50-7=55

3J-5.50+-7=55

3J-12.50=55

3J=55+12.50

3J=67.50

3J/3=67.50/3

J=22.5
