Question

Phil had 93 dollars. And his sister owed 10 dollars to her friend. How much should Phil give to his sister for each of them to have the same amount after the sister paid the 10 dollars?

Answer 1

Answer:

Phil should have $41.5 and Phil should give $51.5 to her sister.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

amount of money Phil have = $93

amount of money Phil's sister owed to her friend = 10

$10 of the $93 is going to his sister's friend; that leaves $83 for Phil and his sister.

If they are to finish with the same amount, then each should have half of the Phil's money after she paid $10

So,

83/2

= 41.5 each but since Phil's sister have to give 10 rupees in debt so

41.5+10

= 51.5

So Phil should have $41.5 and Phil should give $51.5 to her sister.
