Answer 1

Kofta receives $15,250 and Kojo receives $22,750.

Explanation:

Let x represent the amount of money that Kofta has.

x + (x +7,500) = 38,000

- 7,500 - 7,500

___________________

x + x = 30,500

2x = 30,500

÷ 2 = ÷2

-------------------

x = 15,250

Therefore, Kofta has $15,250.

Let k represent the amount of money that Kojo has.

k + 15,250 = 38,00

k = 38,000 - 15,250

k = $22,750

Therefore, Kojo has $22,750
