Math test Add a statement, equation and concluding statement

Charlene earns $700 per week

Kristi earns $550 per week

Sascha earns $800 per week

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Kristi earns 150 less than Charlene which is 100 less than Sascha, this is equal to the value of Sascha minus 250. We put this in the equation as s-250.

Together, they all earn $2050, so we must equal this to Charlene's value k+150, plus Kristi's value k, plus Sascha's value s.

k+150+k+s=2050

The next step here is to put the variables on one side and to put the numeric values on the other.

2k+s=1900

Like we said before, Kristi's value is equal to s-250, so we would replace k with that expression.

2(s-250)+s=1900

2s-500+s=1900

3s=2400

s= 800

We now have Sandra's weekly pay, which we can use to find the others' pay.

c= s-100

c= 800-100

c= 700

k= c-150

k= 700-150

k= 550

the answer is -1 1/5, also a
