Akoshia has more money than Komley. If Akoshia gave Komley 20, they would have the same amount. While if Komley gave Akoshia ¢22, Akoshia would then have twice as much as Komley. How much does each one actually have?

Sagot :

Answer:

Aksohia has $146 and Komley has $106

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the amount does each one have is shown below:

Let us assume Akoshia money be x

And, komley money be y

x>y

x - 20 = y + 20

x - y = 40

x = 40 + y.........(i)

2(y - 22) = x + 22

2y - 44 = x + 22

Now put the value of x in the above equation

2y - 44 = 40 + y + 22

2y - 44 = 62 + y

y = 62 + 44

= 106

And, x = 40 + 106

= 146
