Answer: Anya gets $1200
Explanation:
lets call our variable v (for Vincent)
Anya gets twice as much as Vincent, which means 2v amount of money
and Vincent receives v amount of money.
-write it as an equation,
2v+v = 1800
-we add similar factors
3v = 1800
-then we have to make the variable alone, so we divide both sides by 3
3v/3 = 1800/3
-simplify
v= 600
** Now be careful 600 isn't the final answer, remember the question asks how much Anya gets.**
-we substitute 600 in 2v to find how much Anya gets.
2(600) = 1200
So, Anya gets $1200.
---------------------------------------------
1) 2v+v = 1800
2) 3v = 1800
3) 3v/3 = 1800/3
4) v = 600
5) 2(600) = 1200
