joel had $80 less than hazel.Hazel spent $128 on a vacuum cleaner

1 answer

Let's define the amounts of money that Joel and Hazel have:

Let \( H \) be the amount Hazel has initially.

According to the problem, Joel has $80 less than Hazel, so:

\[ J = H - 80 \]

After Hazel spends $128 on a vacuum cleaner, her remaining amount will be:

\[ H - 128 \]

If you want to know how much money they each have after Hazel's purchase or any further calculations, please provide more details or questions!
