Answer 1

Answers:

1. Bill

2. 50 cents

Step-by-step explanation:

Bill: 30/6 = $5.00

Crista: 126/28 = $4.50

Sentence:

Bill payed $5.00 while Crista payed $4.50 resulting in Bill paying 50 cents more. To figure this out, you must divide the cost by the amount. For Bill you would do 30/6 and get 5, while for Crista you’d do 126/28 resulting in 4.5.
