Question

Jake and Danny agree to share the cost of renting a house for $1100. If Jake agrees to pay $250 more than Danny, how much money will Jake have to pay?

Answer 1

Explanation:

First divide 1100 by 2

550

Now that would be the amount the both of them would have to pay if they were splitting it equally. Since there not add 250 to 550.

250+550=800

Finally subtract 250 from 550

550-250=300

Jake has to pay $550

Danny has to pay $300
