Question

Diane has $16 more than Jessica. They has $96 together. How much fies each girl have

Answer 1

Jessica has $40

Diane has $56

Explanation:

Jessica = x

Diane = y

y = x + 16

x + y = 96

x + x + 16 = 96

2x + 16 = 96

- 16 -16

2x = 80

2x/2 = 80/2

x = 40

40 + 16 = 56

Answer 2

Diane has 56$ and Jessica has $40

Explanation:

$96-16 = $80

Divide $80/2

Each girl has $40, but Diane has $40 + 16 = $56
