Two numbers total 56 and have a difference of 6 how do you find the larger number and the smaller number?

You can just form an equation to solve for them. Call the smaller number x, and the larger number must be x + 6. We know the sum of these two numbers is 56, hence:

x + (x + 6) = 56
2x + 6 = 56
2x = 50
x = 25

This means the smaller number is 25. The larger number is 25 + 6 = 31.

I hope this helps :)

The answer is $9.90 with rounding to the nearest tenth
