You can put this solution on YOUR website! let Ali has x dollars and Tahir has y dollars.
from the question, we have
x-y=36
x=(1+80%)y
by substituting the second equation into the first one, we have
(1+80%)y-y=36
80%y=36
by substituting y=45 into the first question, we have
x-45=36
Ali has 81 dollars.
You can put this solution on YOUR website! if the difference is 36 that means Ali is $36 more than Tahir
A=ali T=tahir
