A.) x + 47.12 B.) x + 12.12 C.) 2x + 12.12 D.) x - 22.88

Answer 1

Cesar's amount can be expressed by x + 12.12

Dalila's amount can be expressed as x - 22.88

Explanation:

If Carmen raised 12.12.less than Cesar, that means his amount is 12.12 more than hers so that is x + 12.12 for Cesar.

If Cesar raised 35 more than Dalila, her amount is Cesar's minus 35. Calculate: x+12.12 - 35. the difference is 22.88 less than x so the amount for Dalila is x- 22.88
