Question

Dan's weekly salary is $70 less than Jerry's, whose salary is $50 more than Sally's. If Sally earns $280 per week, how much does Dan earn per week?
Ms. Sue
Sally = 280
Jerry = 280 + 50
Dan = ?

Weekly Salary
$330?
Ms. Sue
No.

Weekly Salary
No wait, $210?
Ms. Sue
No.
Please stop guessing.
Weekly Salary
I didn't guess though, but I made another answer which is 260.
Ms. Sue
How did you get this answer?
Weekly Salary
Since Dan is $70 less than Jerry, it would be D=J-70, then for Jerry's part, it says he makes $50 more than Sally (S+50), and Sally made $280, so Sally is $280, Jerry is $330 and Dan is $260.
Ms. Sue
Yes! You're right!
Dan earns $260 a week.
