Question

three friends earned more than $200 washing cars. they paid there parents $28 for supplies and divided the rest of money equally. write an inequality to find possible amounts each friend earned.identify what your variable represents

Answer 1

so
x=earned
x>200
they paid their parrents 28 for supplies (this assumes that they paied 28 altogether and not 28 each)
so subtract 28 from pay
new pay=y
y>200-28
y>172
divided it among themselves (3)
172/3=57 and 1/3=57.33
they each earned more that $57.33
