- How much more money did Chloe save than Zoe?
- After Chloe had spent $2 on a stapler. She divided the rest of her savings equally among the other 2 girls. How much money did each girl receive from Chloe?
(a)
Amount that Chloe saved more than Zoe
= (7 - 5) x 4
= 2 x 4
= $8
(b)
Amount that Chloe had
= 7 x 4
= $28
Amount left after Chloe spent on a stapler
= 28 - 2
= $26
Amount that each girl received

= $13
Answer(s): (a) $8; (b) $13
