Abner and Tommy had $160 altogether. Tommy had $48 less than Abner. After Tommy spent some money at the store, Abner had 4 times as much money as Tommy. How much money had Tommy spent at the store?
+36916 First , find out how much money they had to start
a + a-48 = 160
2a = 208
a = 104 then t = 56
the t spends some money and this is the result:
(56 - s) *4 = 104
224 - 4s = 104
-4s = -120
s = 30 t spent $ 30 at the store
