(c) Use your graph to estimate how much each person earned. How much did each person earn? Complete Sentences.

Answer 1

225 for finn jake gets 175

Explanation:

400 divided by 2 = 200+25 witch gives Finn 225 dollars.

J=175 f=225

Answer 2

F = 212.5

J = 187.5

Explanation:

My way is weird but i divided each side by 2 and subtracted 25 from jake and added 25 to finn. Then distributed 25 for each.

ex: 175 + 12.5 = 187.5.

225 - 12.5 = 212.5.

Add them both and you get 400.
