Betty wants to purchase a bicycle but is $23 short. Claire wants to purchase the same bicycle but is $25 short. If they combine their money, they will have just enough to buy the bicycle. What is the cost of the bicycle?

How did you get 48? It is correct , but how ...
How did you get 48? It is correct , but how ...
x-23=25
or x-25=23
solve for x
25+23=48
or 23+25=48

Or the simple logical everyday way is..........
If adding them both together means they have the exact amount and Betty is 23 short then that means Claire has 23 and if Claire is 25 short then that means the Betty has 25. Add 23 and 25 and you get 48.
x-23=25
or x-25=23
solve for x
25+23=48
or 23+25=48
This is what her teacher wanted, I used the logic one or in my case the obvious one.
This is actually a High school question.
3 bucks???? One more than my I.Q.
The bloody bike is 1700 bucks! A 48 dollar bike is stolen! And the lil bitches are going to get caught with possesion of stolen property and get shipped off to Juvi, learn how to make meth out of 4 carrots and a bar of soap, sell it to the other lil badasses and get busted on a trafficing deal!..it's all down hill for those two lil bitches!
