Answer 1

Answer:

Monica = 48.50

Samuel = 24.25

Kara = 17.25

Step-by-step explanation:

First you write equations as you are reading the text:

m = 2s ("Monica earned twice as much as Samuel")

s = k+7 ("Samual earned 7 more than Kara")

m = 48.50

Next, you convert these equations to solve for s and k respectively.

So, if m=2s, then s=m/2:

s = m/2 = 24.25

Likewise, if s=k+7, then k=s-7

k = s-7 = 17.25

The difference between greatest and least is 48.50 - 17.25 = 31.25
