Answer:
I would say its D. 9.00
Step-by-step explanation:
Let 
be the two numbers. We have two pieces of information:
(the difference between the two numbers is 2)
(their product is 224)
From the first equation, we can deduce 
If we plug this expression in the second equation, we have
If you solve this equation with the usual quadratic formula you get the solutions
So, you have the following couple of solutions, recalling that x is 2 more than y:
Answer:
(1)
Donna = Pounds 180
Kyra = Pounds 240
(2)
Kelly = Pounds 225
Nelly = Pounds 175
Step-by-step explanation:
(1)
Donna = x
Kyra = x + 60
If Donna spends 1/3 of her money she is left with 2/3 of her money;
2/3 x
Kyra now has twice as much money as Donna can be represented as;
X + 60 = 2 * 2/3 x
X + 60 = 4/3 x
(x + 60)3 = 4x
3x + 180 = 4x
180 = 4x – 3x
180 = x
Donna = 180
Kyra = 180 + 60 = 240
(2)
Kelly = x
Ned = y
Kelly spends 40% of her money. Therefore he is left with 60%;
60/100 x
Nelly spends Euros 40 of his money. Therefore he is left with;
y- 40
If they now have the same amount of money;
60/100 x = y – 40
3/5 x = y – 40
3x = 5y – 200
3x – 5y = -200
Remember Kelly & Ned has Euros 400 in total;
x + y = 400
Now we can solve the simultaneous equation by substitution;
x + y= 400
3x – 5y = -200
3x + 3y = 1200
-
3x – 5y = - 200
=
8y = 1400
Y = 175
X = 225
Kelly = 225
Nelly = 175
