Question

Jasmine and Cory had saved up a total of $78. Jasper save six dollars more than twice as much as Corey how much is Corey saved

Answer 1

Let's denote the amount saved by Corey as x.

According to the information given, Jasper saves $6 more than twice as much as Corey. So, Jasper saves 2x + 6.

Now, we know that the total amount saved by Corey and Jasper is $78. Therefore, we can write the equation:

x + 2x + 6 = 78
3x + 6 = 78
3x = 72
x = 24

So, Corey has saved $24.
