Marsha has $60.00 . 2/3 of marsha's money is equal to 1/2 of Joanne's money .how much money does Joanne have ?
2/3 of $60 = $40
$40 = 1/2J
Solve for J.
$20.00
To find out how much money Joanne has, we can break down the problem into steps:
Step 1: Calculate 2/3 of Marsha's money.
To calculate 2/3 of Marsha's money, we multiply Marsha's money by 2/3:
2/3 * $60.00 = $40.00
Step 2: Find out how much Joanne's money is compared to 1/2 of Marsha's money.
Since 1/2 of Joanne's money is equal to $40.00, we need to find Joanne's total money. If 1/2 of Marsha's money is $40.00, then 1/2 of Joanne's money is also $40.00. So, Joanne has $80.00.
Therefore, Joanne has $80.00.
