Person A has 6.24 and Person B has two cents more than twice Person A. How much money will they have if they combined their money?
I had this confusing word problem yesterday on a Teacher Certification Exam for PreK-3 grade. Please help clarify how to set this problem up to solve. Thanks!

(2 * 6.24) + 0.02 =
B = .02 + 2 (6.24)
= .02 + 12.48
= 12.50
12.50 + 6.24 = $ 18.74
But beware. I am not certified to teach anything bur sailing!
