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