The graph shows the amount of savings 3 children had.
- How much money must Irene give Emily so that they will have the same amount of money?
- How much money must Victoria give Emily so that Emily will have $4 more than her?
(a)
Irene's savings = $54
Emily's savings = $12
Difference between Irene's and Emily's savings
= 54 - 12
= $42
Amount that Irene must give Emily
= 42 ÷ 2
= $21
(b)
Total amount of Victoria and Emily
= 36 + 12
= $48
2 u + 4 = 48
2 u = 48 - 4
2 u = 44
1 u = 44 ÷ 2 = 22
Amount that Victoria must give to Emily
= 36 - 22
= $14
Answer(s): (a) $21; (b) $14
