Q. Matthew has 35 dollars more than his friend. If they have 100 dollars all together. w much does Matthew have?
Set Up Equations: Let's call the amount of money Matthew's friend has F dollars.Then Matthew has F+35 dollars.Together, they have F+(F+35)=100 dollars.
Solve for F: Now we solve for F:2F+35=1002F=100−352F=65
Find F: Divide both sides by 2 to find F:F=265F=32.5
Calculate Matthew's Amount: Now we find out how much Matthew has:Matthew has F+35 dollars.Matthew has 32.5+35 dollars.Matthew has 67.5 dollars.
