Question

Kofi and Kojo were given 380 cedis to share, Kojo had 15 cedis more than Kofi. If Kofi's share is x, find an expression for Kojo's share.Hence find how much each received.

Answer 1

Answer:

kojo = x + 15

kofi = $182.50

kojo = $197.50

Step-by-step explanation:

kofi = x  

kojo = x + 15 (since Kojo h as 15 cedis more than Kofi)

380= x + 15 + x

2x + 15 = 380

combine like terms

2x = 380 - 15

2x = 365

x = 182.50

Kojo = 15 + 182.50 = $197.50
