Question

Extra Example 3: Hazel has $23.28 in her purse. She has $5.60 more than Nixon.

Paul says that Nixon has $28.88. Yolanda says that Nixon has $17.68. Who is
correct?

Answer 1

Yolanda is correct.

Explanation:

If Hazel has $23.28 and $5.60 more than Nixon, then Nixon will have $17.68 because 23.28-5.60 is 17.68.

The only way Paul would be right is if Nixon has $5.60 more than Hazel because 23.28+5.60 is 28.88.
