Question

Arlin has 9 dollars and 37 cents. Lauren has 6 dollars and 63 cents. How much money does Arlin need to give Lauren so that each of them has the same amount of money?

Answer 1

Answer:

Arlin has to give lauren 1.37

Step-by-step explanation:

9.37 + 6.63 / 2 = 16 / 2 = 8

9.37 - 8 = 1.37

Answer 2

Answer:

$1.37

Step-by-step explanation:

I would start by adding up the total money between them. $9.37 + $6.63 = $16.00. They want the same amount of money, so divide the total by two.

$16.00/2 = $8.00.

Now take the difference between how much Arlin had ($9.37) and how much she has now ($8.00).

$9.37 - $8.00 = $1.37
