Question 1017479: Dina and Donny went to the Del Mar Fair and spent $99 altogether. Dina spent $21 less than twice as much as Donny. How much did she spend? Answer by Cromlix(4381) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hi there,
Make what Donny spent = x
Dina spent 2x - 21
Together they spent $99
x + (2x - 21) = $99
x + 2x - 21 = $99
Collect like terms.
3x = 99 + 21
3x = 120
x = 40.
Donny spent $40
Dina spent $59
Hope this helps :-)
