sue and bob earned 24.00 sue earned twice as much how much money did each earn?
Let x = the money that Bob earned.
x + 2x = 24
3x = 24
x = 24/3
x = ?
x=8 so one makes 8 and the other makes 16 thanks!
Right. You're welcome.
To find out how much money Sue and Bob earned, we can use algebraic equations.
Let's say Sue earned x dollars. According to the given information, Bob earned half of what Sue earned, so Bob earned (1/2)x dollars.
The total amount they earned together is 24 dollars, so we can write an equation:
x + (1/2)x = 24
To solve the equation, we need to combine like terms:
(3/2)x = 24
Next, we want to isolate x, so we multiply both sides of the equation by 2/3:
[(2/3)(3/2)]x = (24)(2/3)
Simplifying, we get:
x = 16
So Sue earned 16 dollars, and Bob earned half of that, which is 8 dollars.
