Answer:
Paul spent $12.65
Step-by-step explanation:
Create a system of equations where p is how much Paul spent and t is how much Tammy spent.
p + t = 37.85
p = t - 12.55
Solve by substitution:
p + t = 37.85
(t - 12.55) + t = 37.85
2t - 12.55 = 37.85
2t = 50.4
t = 25.2
Find how much Paul spent by plugging in 25.5 as t into p = t - 12.55
p = t - 12.55
p = 25.2 - 12.55
p = 12.65
So, Paul spent $12.65
