- Paulo has R$80.00 and Carlos has 2/3of that amount. How many Carlos has? How many do the two have together?
We are given –
Paulo has R$ 80.00 and Carlos has 2/3 of that amount.
We are asked to find, how much Carlos owns and how much they have together.
Explanation :-
At first, we just need to multiply 80by 2, and then we will divide the value by 3, so we find that:
[tex]\qquad[/tex][tex] \bf \longrightarrow 80 \times 2 = 160[/tex]
[tex]\qquad[/tex][tex] \bf \longrightarrow \dfrac{160}{3} = 53.3[/tex]
Therefore, we find that Carlos has 53.3 R$.
Now to find out how much they have together. We have to add Paul's amount to Carlos' amount for that.
[tex]\qquad[/tex][tex] \bf \longrightarrow 53.3 +80 =133.3[/tex]
Henceforth, they both have 133.3 R$. together.
