Question

Monica earned twice as much as Samuel walking dogs. The amount Samuel earned was $7 more than Kara earned. Suppose Monica earned $48.50. Which of the following equations could help find the amount Samuel earned? Select all that apply.

Answer 1

2x = 48.5

Explanation:

Not sure what the options for this question was. However, in the case that the amount Samuel earned is equal to x

Samuel $$ = x

Monica $$ = 2(x)

Monica $$ = $48.50

`Samuel $$ = (Monica )/(2)`

Then the equation would be 2x = 48.5

Answer 2

M = 48.5 S = 24.25 K = 17.25 (S = 48.5 divided by 2)

Explanation:

Divide Monica's answer by two to find Samuel's amount.

The equation would probably look like: S = 48.5 divided by 2 or S = M divided by 2

(S is Samuel's amount and M is Monica's amount)
