Problema Solution
we know that 1/2 of amber's money is equal to 3/4 of emma's money. If amber has 25$ more than Emma, how much money do they have altogether
Answer provided by our tutors
Let
x = the money that Amber has
y = the money that Emma has
1/2 of Amber's money is equal to 3/4 of Emma's money:
(1/2)x = (3/4)y
Amber has 25$ more than Emma:
x = y + 25
We have the following system of equations:
(1/2)x = (3/4)y
x = y + 25
........
........
x = $75
y = $50
x + y = 70 + 50 = $125
Altogether Amber and Emma have $125.
