Lilly and Laura pooled their money to purchase
their brother, Liam, a video game for his birthday.
The video game cost a total of $45. If Laura was
only able to contribute of what Lilly did, how
much did Laura put toward the present?​

Respuesta :

Answer: $22.50

Step-by-step explanation: let x represent the amount Laura and Lilly contributed each. If Laura and Lilly contributed the same amount, x+x=2x=45. If 2x=45, divide both sides by 2 to find the value of x. 45/2= 22.5.
