Question

Olivia and holly put their money together to buy a DVD that cost $19.99. Olivia had $11.52. Write an addition equation to find out how much money Holly put toward a DVD

Answer 1

O is for Olivia and H is for Holly

11.52=O

11.52+H=19.99

H=19.99-11.52

H=8.47

The answer is $8.47

Answer 2

Olivia + Holly = $19.99

We are given that Olivia had $11.52, so plug in 11.52 for Olivia in the equation.

11.52 + Holly = 19.99

Subtract 11.52 from both sides.

Holly = 8.47

Holly put $8.47 toward the DVD.
