Aubrey

Aubrey had 220.00, and Richard had 220.00. Richard shared 1/4 of his money, and Aubrey shared 2/3 of her money. How much money did they share to buy a teddy bear?

Correct answer:

x =  201.6667

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} A=\frac{2}{3}\cdot 220.00=\frac{440}{3}=146\frac{2}{3}\doteq 146.6667 \\ R=\frac{1}{4}\cdot 220.00=55 \\ x=A+R=\frac{440}{3}+55=\frac{440}{3}+\frac{55\cdot 3}{3}=\frac{440}{3}+\frac{165}{3}=\frac{440+165}{3}=\frac{605}{3}=201\frac{2}{3}=201.6667 \end{gathered}$$
