Hi can you please help me on these 2 questions.


1). Bao Ming wants to buy 6 shirts but he is short of $7. If he buys 5 shirts, he will have $11 left. How much money does Bao Ming have?

2). Ben had twice as many books as Eve. If Ben gave Eve 20 books, Ben will have 10 more books than Eve. How many books do they have altogether?

1) $11 + $7 = $18
$18 x 5 = $90
$90 + $11 = $101

2) they have 150 books altogether.

Hi

Good Morning.

As usual, I've drawn more MD than necessary to show the flow of events.Once a student understands the logic, he/she may consolidate the steps.

Hope this helps.

Best wishes
