Question

4.) Together Alice & Mindy have saved $490 for a trip this summer.

Amy has saved $54 more than Mindy. How much has each person
saved? Write a system & use substitution to solve.

Answer 1

Mindy=191

Amy=299

Explanation:

first you want to divide $490 in half to see what each person has. Thats 245 and since Amy has $54 more, you minus 54 from 245 to get 191. So while Mindy has 191, Amy has 299
