First take note that Mr. Day gave them $24 to share and Mrs. Day gave each of them $2. There were also four girls in total.
So we'll divide 24 by 4 resulting each girl getting $6 each from Mr. Day.
Now we'll add the $2 Mrs. Day gave them resulting in the answer.
Each girl made $8 from Mr. and Mrs. Day
Assuming that both triangles are an exact copy of one another, it is safe to assume that 3y-7 is equal to 41. Set up an equation
3y-7=41
Add 7 to both sides
3y=48
Divide both sides by 3
y=16
Now to find PN.
Based on what we know, we can assume that MP = PN. Let's make some equations!
MP = 17x-8 PN = 11x+4
17x-8 = 11x+4
Subtract 11x from both sides
6x-8 = 4
Add 8 to both sides
6x = 12
Divide by 2
x=2
Substitute 2 in for x in the equation for PN
11(2)+4
Multiply 11 by 2
22+4 = 26
PN = 26
