Final Answer:

If they join their money together, they would have $35 in total.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve this step by step:

1. First we calculate how much money Amy has after spending half. Amy saved $30, so half of that would be:
1/2 × 30 = 15

So, Amy has $15 left.

2. Next, we do the same for Amy's sister, who saved $40. Half of her savings is:
1/2 × 40 = 20

Therefore, Amy's sister has $20 left.

3. Now, we want to find out how much money they have together after they have both spent half.

We simply add Amy's remaining money to her sister's remaining money:
15 (Amy's remaining money) + 20 (Sister's remaining money) = 35

So, after joining their remaining money together, Amy and her sister would have $35 in total.

Complete question:

Amy saved $30 and her sister saved $40. They each spent half their money. If they join their money together, how would they have now?​
