Stan has $42 and Cory has $108
Stan has $50 and Cory has $74
Stan has $63 and Cory has $87
Stan has $108 and Cory has $42

Answer 1

Stan has $42 and Cory has $108.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, let's assume that Stan has x dollars. Since Cory has $24 more than twice as much as Stan, Cory has 2x + $24 dollars. Together, they have $150, so we can write the equation: x + (2x + $24) = $150. Solving this equation, we find that x = $42, which means Stan has $42 and Cory has 2($42) + $24 = $108.
