Question

For every dollar Ben spent on bagels, David spent 25 cents less. Ben paid 12.50 more than David. How much did they spend in the bagel store together?

Answer 1

N = how much Ben spent
N - 0.25 cents = David spent
D = David
D + 12.50 = Ben spent

12.50 x 2 = 25.00 - 0.25 = 24.75

Answer 2

I think it would be 22.50 but I'm not completely sure
