So let's name the numbers x and y.

we know that their sum, x+y is 7\frac{2}{8}

and that that their difference, x-y is 2\frac{4}{8}

so, from the last one we can find out x:

x-y=2\frac{4}{8}
x=2\frac{4}{8}+y


we can substitute this into the first one:

2\frac{4}{8}+y+y = 7\frac{2}{8}

2\frac{4}{8}+2y = 7\frac{2}{8}

2y=4\frac{6}{8} (7-2=5, but you have to "borrow" one because the fraction of the number from which you substract is smaller than of the other number)

so y=2\frac{3}{8}

then x will be
x=2\frac{4}{8}+2\frac{3}{8}
x=4\frac{7}{8}

What’s the answer for this question that’s in the picture below
Annette [7]

The answer is 140.

For every 4 toys the price increases by 20. If you divide, we find that every toy is worth 5. For example, if the amount of toys increases by 10, then the cost increases by 50. Since 20 is the closest given example being only 10 toys away, you can just add 50 onto the cost of the toys to get 140.
