- How much more money did Sophia save than Aria?
- After Opal had spent $8 on a stapler. She divided the rest of her savings equally among the other 2 girls. How much money did each girl receive from Opal?
(a)
Amount that Sophia saved more than Aria
= (7 - 4) x 6
= 3 x 6
= $18
(b)
Amount that Opal had
= 6 x 6

Amount left after Opal spent on a stapler
= 36 - 8
= $28
Amount that each girl received
