Answer:
$11
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Ben has b,
sean has s
alexis has a
samantha has s
Money.
We need to write the words into equations and solve as we can.
b + s + a + s = 47
b + s = 27
b + a = 25
b + s = 23
We need to find a.
Let's put 2nd equation in first, to get:
27 + a + s = 47
a + s = 20 ---------- 5th equation
Now let's solve 4th equation for b and put it into 3rd equation:
b + s = 23
b = 23 - s
Putting in 3rd equation:
23 - s + a = 25
a - s = 2 ---------------6th equation
Now, add up 5th and 6th equation to get a:
a + s = 20
a - s = 2
-------------
2a = 22
a = 22/2 = 11
