- How much more money did Ginny save than Sophia?
- After Jen had spent $10 on a pen. She divided the rest of her savings equally among the other 2 girls. How much money did each girl receive from Jen?
(a)
Amount that Ginny saved more than Sophia
= (6 - 4) x 6
= 2 x 6
= $12
(b)
Amount that Jen had
= 5 x 6
= $30
Amount left after Jen spent on a pen
= 30 - 10
= $20
Amount that each girl received
