Yesterday kate and her cousin robert went out for a movie there they spent $50 in total robert spent $10 more than kate how much did kate spend?
To find out how much Kate spent, we first need to set up an equation using the information given. Let's assume that Kate spent x dollars.
According to the given information, Robert spent $10 more than Kate. So, Robert would have spent x + $10.
The total amount spent by both Kate and Robert is $50. Thus, we can write the equation as:
x + (x + $10) = $50
Now, we can solve this equation to find the value of x, which represents the amount Kate spent.
Combining like terms, we have:
2x + $10 = $50
Subtracting $10 from both sides, we get:
2x = $50 - $10
2x = $40
Dividing both sides of the equation by 2, we find:
x = $40/2
x = $20
Therefore, Kate spent $20.
K = Kate
K + K + 10 = 50
2K = 40
K = ?
