1/8 of Tony's money is the same amount as 1/9 of Joanne's money. If they have $680 in total, how much does Tony have?

Well, Tony's money + Joanne's money = $680
You can set up an equation like:
8t + 9j =$680.
But, keep in mind that 1t=1j and they don't necessarily have the same amount of money in total
