Question

AMA and will collect quarters as a fundraiser for their school. In the first week, am a collects ten more quarters than will collects. Together, they collect 14.50$ worth of quarters How many quarters did they collect in the first week

Answer 1

AMA and will collect money

for the first week AMA = 10 time Will

lets call AMA money A , and Will money W

then A= 10•W

Money collected in total is. 14.50

so this means A + W = 14.50

now r eplace A by 10W and find

10W + W = 11W = 14.50

then W = 14.50/11 = 1.318

now find A = 14.50-W = 14.50- 1.318 = 13.12
