The graph shows the amount of savings 3 children had.
- How much money must Cindy give Anna so that they will have the same amount of money?
- How much money must Ivory give Anna so that Anna will have $2 more than her?
(a)
Cindy's savings = $72
Anna's savings = $16
Difference between Cindy's and Anna's savings
= 72 - 16
= $56
Amount that Cindy must give Anna
= 56 ÷ 2
= $28
(b)
Total amount of Ivory and Anna
= 48 + 16
= $64
2 u + 2 = 64
2 u = 64 - 2
2 u = 62
1 u = 62 ÷ 2 = 31
Amount that Ivory must give to Anna
= 48 - 31
= $17
Answer(s): (a) $28; (b) $17
