Question

Together, Sam and Andy have $340. Sam has $8.00 more than Andy. How much money does Sam have?

Answer 1

Answer:

Sam have $\ 174$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-----> amount of money that Sam has

y-----> amount of money that Andy has

we know that

$x+y=340$ -----> equation A

$x=y+8$ ----> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A

$y+8+y=340$

$2y=340-8$

$y=332/2=\ 166$

Find the value of x

$x=166+8=\ 174$
