Ade and bolu were given 600naira to buy clothes bolu gets 120 naira more than Ade how much does each get respectively

Answer 1

Let's use algebra to solve the problem.

Ade = x (amount given to Ade)
Bolu = x + 120 (amount given to Bolu because he gets 120 naira more than Ade)

We know that they were given a total of 600 naira, so:

x + (x + 120) = 600

Simplifying the equation:

2x + 120 = 600

2x = 480

x = 240

Therefore, Ade was given 240 naira and Bolu was given 360 naira.
