Question

One person has 1,700$ more than another person. Between them, they have a total of 10,500$. How much does each person have?

Answer 1

Answer:

4400$,6100$

Step-by-step explanation:

let the money one person have be x and other has be x+1700$

so,

x+x+1700$=10500$

or, 2x=8800

or, x=4400

so first person has 4400$ and other person has (4400+1700)$=6100$

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

lets take another person as X

lets take the first person as X + 1700

total amount = 10500$

ATQ: X + (X+1700)=10500$

     =X+X+1700= 10500

     = 2X +1700=10500

      =2X = 10500-1700

      = 2X = 8800

       = X= 8800/2

       = X = 4400

.:. first person is = X+1700

                           = 4400+1700

                            = 6100$

  another person is= X

                                = 4400$

.:. first person has 6100$ and another person is 4400$
