The graph shows the amount of money saved by 3 girls in a week. Answer the following.
- How much more money did Opal save than Leah?
- After Lily had spent $4 on a stapler. She divided the rest of her savings equally among the other 2 girls. How much money did each girl receive from Lily?
(a)
Amount that Opal saved more than Leah
= (6 - 4) x 8
= 2 x 8
= $16
(b)
Amount that Lily had
= 5 x 8
= $40
Amount left after Lily spent on a stapler
= 40 - 4
= $36
Amount that each girl received

= $18
Answer(s): (a) $16; (b) $18
