Question

Sophie and Jazmin have the same amount of money to invest in the stock market. If Sophie gives $15,000 to Jazmin, Jazmin has twice as much money as Sophie. How much money did Jazmin have originally?

Answer 1

Answer: 15,000 (If Sophie was left at 15,000)

Step-by-step explanation: So if Sophie gave Jazmin 15,000 but we don't know how much money Sophie was left with we can only assume she was left with how much Jazmin originally started with. So using simple math 15,000 + 15,000 = 30,000 and then if Sophie was left with 15,000 Jazmin would now have double what Sophie has.
