Given that Alto and Sheryl both worked hard over the summer, and together they earned a total of $ 475, and Sheryl earned $ 25 more than Alto, the following calculation must be performed to determine how much each one earned:
S = A + 25
A = A
A + 25 + A = 475
2A = 475 - 25
A = 450/2
A = 225
S = 225 + 25 = 250
Therefore, Alto earned $ 225 and Sheryl earned $ 250.
