Question

Brianna and her sister each have a savings account and they each owe money to a credit account company. Brianna owes $1,660 while her sister owes $2,136. "If you give me just 15% of your savings, I can combine it with my savings and pay off my debt," Brianna said. Her sister replied, "If you give me just 10% of your saving, I can combine it with my savings and pay of my debt." How much money is in Brianna's savings account?

Answer 1

First you need to see that first you want to get rid of the higher number (maybe). But you need to find 10% of 1,660 (166 is the answer to that dx). So you will subtract 166 from 2,136 (1970 should be around the answer dx). Next you take 15% from 1,970 (295.5 should be the answer you get about dx). And then take the 166 from the 10% of 1,660 and subtract dx(1494 is about the right number). Next you have to take subtract 295.5 from 1,970 and get about 1674.5; and then you take 1494 from 1674.5 and finally get your answer of $180.5 :)
