Question 902896: jim weighs 40 lb more than stephanie. stephianie weighs three fourths as much as jim, how much does each weigh? Choices for stephianie's weight are 100lb 118lb 120 lb Answer by swincher4391(1107) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! j = s + 40
s = 3/4 * j
substitute 3/4j for s.
1j = 3/4j + 40
1/4 j = 40
j = 160
160 = s + 40
120 = s <--- ANSWER
