Question

Ann earns $5000 more per year than Bill. What is anna salary what is bills salary

Answer 1

We are given "Ann earns $5000 more per year than Bill".

We are not given any value for a Bill. So we can take a variable for a bill amount.

Let us assume amount of each bill = $x.

Now, we can make a statement " Ann earns $5000 more per year than x.", because x is representing bill amount there.

Now, we can make an expression for it.

Ann earning = 5000+x.

Because for " more " word, we use addition operation when writing expressions.
