Question

i need help!

Answer 1

Since Beth has 60 cents more than Suzy, we'll first take

the difference off the equation.

$8.20 - $0.60 = $7.60

So, after minusing off the difference, you know that they

now have the equal amount of money.

Since they have an equal amount, you divide the $7.40

by 2.

$7.60/ 2 = $3.80

This means that, after deducting the 60 cents, each girl has

$3.80. From this answer, we can see that Suzy, being the one

with less money, has $3.80.

And since Beth has 60 cents more than Suzy,

$3.80 + $0.60 = $4.40

Thus, Beth has $4.40.

Answer 2

x + x + .60 = 8.20

2x = 7.60

x = 3.80

Suzy has $3.80

Beth has $3.80 + $.60 = $4.40

$3.80 + $4.40 = $8.20

Answer 3

3.80 - suzy  4.40- beth

Answer 4

b-$4.40

s-$3.80

sad you can't do it yourself.

Answer 5

write equations to describe the situation

b = s + .60

b + s = 8.20

Then you can solve by graphing, elimination, or substitution.

If you use substitution, the first equation tells us that b is equal to s plus .60 so we can replace b in the other equation with s + .60.  So you have

s + .60 + s = 8.20

Simplify and solve that and you find s = 3.80

and b = s + .60 so

       b = 3.80 + .60

       b = 4.40

Beth has 4.40 and Suzy has 3.80

Answer 6

Hey hun,

$8.20-$.60=$7.60

$7.60/2 =$3.80

$3.80 + $.60 = $4.20

Suzy has $3.80  Beth has $4.20

Hope this help, and I'm sorry people on here are being a*s's

Answer 7

TO FIGURE OUT WHAT BETH HAS YOU NEED TO SUBTRACT $0.60 FROM $8.20 DIVIDE THAT BY 2 AND  ADD ON .60 YOU SHOULD FIND OUT THAT BETH HAS $4.40 AND IF YOU SUBTRACT $4.40 FROM $8.20  YOU WILL DISCOVER THAT SUZIE HAS $3.80. TO CONFIRM THAT IS RIGHT ADD $4.40 AND $3.80 YOU WILL GET $8.20 ///////////// TO THE IDIOTS THAT ANSWERED THIS QUESTION: THE GIRL ASKED A QUESTION BECAUSE SHE NEEDED AN ANSWER SHE DIDN'T NEED TO BE TOLD SHE WAS STUPID OR TO FIGURE IT OUT HERSELF.
