Question

In total Anna and Ryelin have 985 songs downloaded.

Answer 1

Subtract 985 from 177 since Anna has 177 more songs than Ryelin. Then divide that answer by 2 which gives each one an equal amount then add 177 to one of the answers to get how many each girl has.

$985 - 177 = 808$
$808 \div 2 = 404$
$404 + 177 = 581$
So Ryelin has 404 songs downloaded and Anna has 581 songs downloaded.
