Question

Matthew has 10 more than twice dollars than tony together they have 47 dollars how much money does each of them have

Answer 1

Lets say Matthew already has the 10 dollars and that they need to share the remaining 37 dollars

Answer 2

So you would divide 37 by 2 and that would give the amount tony has

Answer 3

Then add 10 dollars to give the amount that Matthew would have

Answer 4

\[37\div2=$18.50\] is what tony has

Answer 5

So Tony has $18.50 and Matthew has $28.50

Answer 6

but when you add $28.50 & 18.50 the total is $47 they don't check out to be $37

Answer 7

Answer 8

The $37 was the remaining money after Matthew already had $10
