Whitney has £265 Nancy has £180 They each spend the same amount of money. Whitney has twice as much money as Nancy left now. How much money did they each spend?

£95

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Whitney's initial amount = £265

Nancy's initial amount = £180

Let amount each spent = x (amount is the same)

After spending Whitney has twice as much money as Nancy.

Amount spent by each?

(Whitney's initial amount - x) = 2(Nancy's initial amount - x)

265 - x = 2(180 - x)

265 - x = 360 - 2x

-x + 2x = 360 - 265

x = £95

Hence, they both spent £95

3

step-by-step explanation:

in standard form:

a= dictionaries

b= maps

you have to buy 3 dictionaries, so put a 3 next to the a (dictionaries) so that you can multiply them by each other.

a3+b= 60 (the amount of money you have)

we already know the cost of a=15 so replace a with $15

($15 x 3)+b=60

multiply 15 and 3 to get $45 and replace it with $45

45+b=60

and then replace b with 15 to get the total:

45+15=60

that means you have $15 left after buying 3 dictionaries.

15 divided by the cost of a map ($5) equals 3.

so you can buy 3 maps.
