Question

. Mr. Lorenzo gave his 2 sons $50 to buy a cooler. The total cost for the cooler is $44. Mr. Lorenzo told his sons that they could each have an equal share of the change they receive. The equation shown can be used to determine s, the amount of money each son should receive in dollars. S = (50 - 44) 2 What amount of money is represented by s ?

Answer 1

S=$3

Explanation:

Given that the cost of cooler is $44

money given to the two sons $50

let S represent the amount the two son will have to share equally

the change is 50-44=6

=$6

Then s=6/2=$3

applying with the expression directly we have

S = (50 - 44)/2

S = (6)/2

S=$3
