Answer 6

I didn't guess though, but I made another answer which is 260.

Answer 7

How did you get this answer?

Answer 8

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.

Answer 9

Yes! You're right!
Dan earns $260 a week.
