- Paulo has R$80.00 and Carlos has 2/3of that amount. How many Carlos has? How many do the two have together?
We are given –
Paulo has R$ 80.00 and Carlos has 2/3 of that amount.
We are asked to find, how much Carlos owns and how much they have together.
Explanation :-
At first, we just need to multiply 80by 2, and then we will divide the value by 3, so we find that:

![\bf \longrightarrow 80 * 2 = 160](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/high-school/l0rnal4wc24yo8nqrq1d4rdvr8l3k6h8yo.png)
![\qquad](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/high-school/grizr4cwiwjyplokx27t3vrun1hax150fa.png)
![\bf \longrightarrow (160)/(3) = 53.3](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/high-school/67t4tlmubmqizq70idqxqac3ap3zyenh5g.png)
Therefore, we find that Carlos has 53.3 R$.
Now to find out how much they have together. We have to add Paul's amount to Carlos' amount for that.

![\bf \longrightarrow 53.3 +80 =133.3](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/high-school/6ymxjom81us0jr0j9wz9yjiqvjl384usj5.png)
Henceforth, they both have 133.3 R$. together.
