Question

Jack and Hassan have part-time jobs after school and on weekends. In March, jack earned $35 more than Hassan. Together their total earnings were $255 that month. Use a system of equations to calculate how much jack and Hassan each earned in March

Answer 1

Explanation:

jack=35

Hassan=x

x+35=255

255-35=$220 (It has to be x=)

So:

220/2=$110

Therefore:

Hassan=$110

Jack=$110+$35=$145 (because he had earned $35 more)
