Answer:
The total saving of Alex (a) and Benjamin (b) was 2000$.
=> a + b = 2000 (1)
Alex donates 1/4 of saving, Benjamin donates 1/5 of saving.
Total donation: 440$
=> (1/4)a + (1/5)b = 440 (2)
From (1) and (2):
=>(1/4)(2000 - b) +(1/5)b = 440
=> 500 - (1/4)b + (1/5)b = 440
=> (1/20)b = 60
=> b = 20 x 60 = 1200$ (current balance of Benjamin)
=> a = 2000 - b = 800$ (current balance of Alex)
Hope this helps!

I think I’m correct if I understood your problem correctly. 4•6=x
X represents the total number of lollipops that were originally in the jar
35 people paid a total of $245 for admission to a local soccer game. What is the price of admission?
Answer: We are given that 35 people paid total of $245 for admission.
Now we need to find the price of one admission. To find the price of one admission we need to divide the total amount paid by the number of people.
Therefore, the price of admission is:
7
8 - 4:15 pm = 8 hours and 15 minutes , minus the hour break = 7 hours and 15 minutes . she earnt $64.38 for 7.25 hours work so 64.38 / 7.25 = 8.88 . she gets paid $8.88 an hour
